Actually, changing the color of a displayed text is pretty fancy, if you
ask me! How are you going to change the color on a B/W terminal? How are
you going to know your terminal is B/W if you don't want to do something
in the least bit fancy?
Anyway, try using curs_color(3X) from ncurses - that should help and does
most of the fancy stuff for you :)

BTW: ncurses is in the Cygwin net distri, before anyone asks..
