 You can use these ANSI escape codes:

 Black        0;30     Dark Gray     1;30
 Red          0;31     Light Red     1;31
 Green        0;32     Light Green   1;32
 Brown/Orange 0;33     Yellow        1;33
 Blue         0;34     Light Blue    1;34
 Purple       0;35     Light Purple  1;35
 Cyan         0;36     Light Cyan    1;36
 Light Gray   0;37     White         1;37

 And then use them like this in your script:

 RED='\033[0;31m'
 NC='\033[0m' # No Color
 printf "I ${RED}love${NC} Stack Overflow\n"

 which prints love in red.

 if you are using the echo command, be sure to use the -e flag to allow backslash escapes.

 # Continued from above example
 echo -e "I ${RED}love${NC} Stack Overflow"

 (don't add "\n" when using echo unless you want to add additional empty line)
