You will have to build the body of the email using html tags to use color.

The new way: <span style='color: blue;'>Hello</span>
The old way: <font color="blue">Hello</font>
The new way is preferred, but some old email clients might want the old way.

Thank you Corona688
That worked. but after little tweak. separated failures and Success in 2 different files and added <br> tag in the failure file that will highlight the failures first in the report.
