For color message you can do something like this

Code:
$ cat color.sh
#!/bin/bash

# Display colorized information output
function cinfo() {
    COLOR='\033[01;33m'    # bold yellow
    RESET='\033[00;00m'    # normal white
    MESSAGE=${@:-"${RESET}Error: No message passed"}
    echo -e "${COLOR}${MESSAGE}${RESET}"
}
 
# Display colorized warning output
function cwarn() {
    COLOR='\033[01;31m'    # bold red
    RESET='\033[00;00m'    # normal white
    MESSAGE=${@:-"${RESET}Error: No message passed"}
    echo -e "${COLOR}${MESSAGE}${RESET}"
}


cinfo "\t\tThis is normal color yellow\n"
cwarn "\t\tThis is warning in red\n"

Resulting

Code:
$ bash color.sh
        This is normal color yellow

        This is warning in red

update-language

update-fontlang(8)					       Debian User's Manual						update-fontlang(8)

NAME

       update-language, update-fmtutil, update-fmtlang - update various TeX-related configuration files

SYNOPSIS

       update-language [options]
       update-fmtutil [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page explains briefly the usage of the three TeX configuration update programs update-language and update-fmtutil.

       The  update-fontlang  script  should not be called directly, but only via the two described links.  For a more in-depth description, please
       see the document TeX on Debian in /usr/share/doc/tex-common/TeX-on-Debian.txt.gz (also available as HTML and PDF).

       The programs update-language and update-fmtutil create or update the configuration files language.dat and fmtutil.cnf, respectively.  These
       files  define  the  hyphenation	patterns to be loaded into LaTeX-related TeX formats (language.dat), and the list of formats to be created
       (fmtutil.cnf).

       These programs can be used either in system-wide mode if called by root, or in a user-specific mode if called by a user without	super-user
       privileges.

OPTIONS

       -c DIR, --conf-dir=DIR
	      directory  where	the  user-specific  configuration  files  are looked for in user-specific mode (default TEXMFCONFIG/language.d for
	      update-language and TEXMFCONFIG/fmt.d for update-fmtutil, where TEXMFCONFIG is usually $HOME/.texmf-config).

       -o FILE, --output-file=FILE
	      file to write the output to. Per default, in system-wide	mode,  update-language	writes	to  /var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/lan-
	      guage.dat and update-fmtutil writes to /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf.

       --checks
	      perform sanity checks on the generated config file. Don't use this in maintainer scripts.

       --quiet
	      don't write anything to the standard output during normal operation

       --help print a summary of the command-line usage and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

USAGE

       In  system-wide	mode, both programs merge those files ("configuration snippets") with a specific extension in the respective configuration
       directories to produce the final file. These configuration directories and extensions are language.d  and  .cnf	for  update-language,  and
       fmt.d  and .cnf for update-fmtutil.  In system-wide mode, these directories are those under /etc/texmf/. Both TeX add-on packages and local
       administrators can add files to these directories.

       If a package that provides such snippets is removed but not purged, including the snippet will likely break the	system.   To  prevent  the
       inclusion in these cases, snippets installed by packages have to contain a magic header:

       # -_- DebPkgProvidedMaps -_-

       which  local  administrators  should  not remove.  From the files with a magic header, only those files which are also listed in one of the
       files in /var/lib/tex-common/language-cnf/ for update-language,	and  /var/lib/tex-common/fmtutil-cnf/  for  update-fmtutil,  are  actually
       included into the final output file. This way, local changes to the configuration can be preserved while the package is in state 'rc' (that
       is, the package is removed, but its configuration files are still present).  For details about this mechanism, package  maintainers  should
       consult	the  Debian  TeX Policy.  As a special case, the files for JadeTeX and xmlTeX are only included if there is already a file for the
       LaTeX format (see TeX on Debian for details).

       The user-specific mode provides a way for a non-admin user to override system-wide settings.  In this mode, update-language writes to TEXM-
       FVAR/tex/generic/config/language.dat,  and update-fmtutil writes to TEXMFVAR/web2c/fmtutil.cnf, where TEXMFVAR is usually $HOME/.texmf-var.
       Furthermore, files present within the user-specific configuration directories are included in addition to the files present in the  system-
       wide configuration directories.	In case the same filename exists in the system-wide configuration directory and the user-specific configu-
       ration directory, the user-specific file is used instead of the system-wide one. The user-specific configuration directories are  TEXMFCON-
       FIG/language.d  for update-language and TEXMFCONFIG/fmt.d for update-fmtutil, where TEXMFCONFIG is usually $HOME/.texmf-config. The system-
       wide configuration directories have the same names, but are located in /etc/texmf/ instead of TEXMFCONFIG.

       Note that changes introduced by updates of packages are not propagated to the user's configuration files. This has to be done by hand.

FILES

       /var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat
	      This file is generated or updated by update-language in system-wide mode and contains a list of the hyphenation patterns loaded into
	      LaTeX-based formats by fmtutil-sys.

	      This  file  is generated or updated by update-fmtutil in system-wide mode and contains a list of formats to be generated by fmtutil-
	      sys.

	      Input files for update-language

       /etc/texmf/fmt.d/name.cnf

       /var/lib/tex-common/language-cnf/package.list
	      Lists the file(s) installed by package in /etc/texmf/language.d/.

       /var/lib/tex-common/fmtutil-cnf/package.list
