Yeah, basically you print the escape character (either \e or \033, I prefer the latter because I'm used to it and \e isn't actually standard C - although as far as I know it is widely supported), an opening square bracket ('['), numbers separated by semicolons and the letter 'm' (other letters are used for other types of escape codes).
To get back to the default, you must use '0' as the number. If several numbers are specified they will be executed in the order they appear, thus if two incompatible options are set (like green and red at the same time), the last one will be effective. You can prefix all your options with a '0' like "\033[0;<your options here>m", in case some of them are already set.
Don't forget to print a "\033[0m" at the end if you don't want the rest of your output to be messed.

textout_ex
textout_ex(3alleg4) Allegro manual textout_ex(3alleg4)NAME
textout_ex - Writes a string on a bitmap. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
void textout_ex(BITMAP *bmp, const FONT *f, const char *s, int x, int y, int color, int bg);
DESCRIPTION
Writes the string `s' onto the bitmap at position x, y, using the specified font, foreground color and background color. If the background
color is -1, then the text is written transparently. If the foreground color is -1 and a color font is in use, it will be drawn using the
colors from the original font bitmap (the one you imported into the grabber program), which allows multicolored text output. For high and
true color fonts, the foreground color is ignored and always treated as -1. Example:
/* Show the program's version in blue letters. */
textout_ex(screen, font, "v4.2.0-beta2", 10, 10,
makecol(0, 0, 255), -1);
