Using SED to change a specific word's color?

Ok so all i'm trying to do here is output a file and change the color of a specific word. I can't use grep with color because I need all lines of the file not just lines that match the pattern.

I can get this substitution to work but when it displays it shows exactly what i'm putting it rather than changing the color.

I've tried dozens of different combinations and ways of doing this and i'm sure i'm just missing something stupid.
Code:
sed 's/START/echo -e "\033[32m" START/p' /tmp/logfile.log

All I get are log files output with START replaced with echo -e "\033[32m" START


Tried using TPUT as well by doing things like bold=$(tput smso)

Many variations of that. I never got tput to work at all even using just simple test echo with the bold variable.

NAME
gifcolor - A program to generate color test patterns. Feed it a color map file (as generated, say, by the -s otion of GifClrMp) and it will generate a GIF containing lines of the form Color %-3d: [%-3d, %-3d, %-3d]: where the first number is the zero-based color index, and the triple is the index's [Red, Green, Blue] value. There will be one such line for each color. Each line will be set in a simple 8x8 font in the color it describes; thus, any lines corresponding to the GIF's back- ground color will be blank. USAGE
gifcolor [-q] [-b Background] [-h] &ltColorMapFile As gifcolor can generate huge amounts of data, ^C will kill it, but 'q' will stop only the printing (of one of -e, -z, -p), while file integrity will still be checked. MEMORY REQUIRED
Line. OPTIONS
[-q] Quiet mode. Defaults off on MSDOS, on under UNIX. Controls printout of running scan lines. Use -q- to invert. [-b] Set the image's backround color to a given numeric index. [-h] Print one line of command line help, similar to Usage above. AUTHOR
