This will work in korn shell:
print "\033[01;34m Hello \033[00m"

The \033 stands for the escape character, followed by "[01;34" (like saying turn on color, number 34, in a simple way).

To turn it off, I used "\033[00m".

You can even mix them up in one line:
Code:
print "\033[01;34m This \033[00m\033[01;25mthat \033[00mthere"

Have fun!

Thanks.
