Colored shell script output library

Here is an modified snippet from my dotfiles that should do what you want

RCol="\e[0m"    # Text Reset

# Regular           Bold                Underline           High Intensity      BoldHigh Intens     Background          High Intensity Backgrounds
Bla="\e[0;30m";     BBla="\e[1;30m";    UBla="\e[4;30m";    IBla="\e[0;90m";    BIBla="\e[1;90m";   On_Bla="\e[40m";    On_IBla="\e[0;100m";
Red='\e[0;31m';     BRed='\e[1;31m';    URed='\e[4;31m';    IRed='\e[0;91m';    BIRed='\e[1;91m';   On_Red='\e[41m';    On_IRed='\e[0;101m';
Gre="\e[0;32m";     BGre="\e[1;32m";    UGre="\e[4;32m";    IGre="\e[0;92m";    BIGre="\e[1;92m";   On_Gre="\e[42m";    On_IGre="\e[0;102m";
Yel="\e[0;33m";     BYel="\e[1;33m";    UYel="\e[4;33m";    IYel="\e[0;93m";    BIYel="\e[1;93m";   On_Yel="\e[43m";    On_IYel="\e[0;103m";
Blu='\e[0;34m';     BBlu='\e[1;34m';    UBlu='\e[4;34m';    IBlu='\e[0;94m';    BIBlu='\e[1;94m';   On_Blu='\e[44m';    On_IBlu='\e[0;104m';
Pur="\e[0;35m";     BPur="\e[1;35m";    UPur="\e[4;35m";    IPur="\e[0;95m";    BIPur="\e[1;95m";   On_Pur="\e[45m";    On_IPur="\e[0;105m";
Cya="\e[0;36m";     BCya="\e[1;36m";    UCya="\e[4;36m";    ICya="\e[0;96m";    BICya="\e[1;96m";   On_Cya="\e[46m";    On_ICya="\e[0;106m";
Whi='\e[0;37m';     BWhi='\e[1;37m';    UWhi='\e[4;37m';    IWhi='\e[0;97m';    BIWhi='\e[1;97m';   On_Whi='\e[47m';    On_IWhi='\e[0;107m';

Then you can just echo -e "${Blu}blue ${Red}red ${RCol}etc...."
