title: Change color of java console output
body: <p>I was wondering if there is someway for me to set the color of the text that I output to the console in Java. It does not matter if it is system specific as the program will only be run on my Windows 7 x64 laptop.</p>
  
  <p>This question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5757311/change-color-in-java-eclipse-console">Change color in java eclipse console</a> was asked several weeks ago and had a good solution(by @VonC) to a similar problem however it only addressed the issue inside eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>Can the same effect be achieved if I execute my program from the command line? and if so how?</p>
