      Oh cool, I believe only 4bit colours are possible, you can use this table from Wikipedia and the escape sequence \e[<FG>m replacing<FG> with your chosen foreground colour. Also \e[0m to reset everything.

      Haha yeah! I noticed that too!

      I think I just used regex look aheads and look behinds to insert the colours easily.

      Edit: Oh you can change that actual TTY font to a bigger one, if the text is too small too.
