Using escape code you can do this

#include <stdio.h>

#define COLOR_RESET  "\x1b[0m"
#define COLOR_RED    "\x1b[31m"
#define COLOR_GREEN  "\x1b[32m"

int main()
{
    printf(COLOR_GREEN "Some good text\n");
    printf(COLOR_RED   "Some evil text\n");
    printf(COLOR_RESET "Some normal text\n");

    return 0;
}
