Changing background color and color of text

Question

Say I had a few numbers in a list:

listt = [2, 4, 6]

Is there any way to do something that would change the background color and color of each number depending on which number it is. For example:

for i in range(3):
    if listt[i] == 2:
        # make background color green and make number red
    elif listt[i] == 4:
        # make background color orange and make number green
    elif listt[i] == 6
        # make background color red and make number orange
    print(nlistt[i])

Is there any way to do this and if not with both background and regular color can you do 1 of the 2. Also this should be in the console and not in a new window like pygame.

It's not a duplicate, I wan't to know how to change the color depending on an item in the list — J. Doe, Jul 18 '18 at 01:40
Do you want it on a new window(ex pygame,pyglet) or in the console? — , Jul 18 '18 at 01:40
@J.Doe you can just use what is on alex's suggestion... its right there with 57 upvotes at least how to print with colour, actually and with background — Andre Motta, Jul 18 '18 at 01:47
How can I use it with my code so that if a number is 2, 4, or 6 it prints different results?? — J. Doe, Jul 18 '18 at 01:49

Just apply the color code to what you want to print, the color code could be found in the post @Alex Taylor mentioned.

listt = [2, 4, 6]
nlistt = listt.copy()
for i in range(3):
    if listt[i] == 2:
        # make background color green and make number red
        nlistt[i] = '\033[1;31;42m' + str(nlistt[i]) + '\033[0m'
    elif listt[i] == 4:
        # make background color orange and make number green
        nlistt[i] = '\033[1;32;43m' + str(nlistt[i]) + '\033[0m'
    elif listt[i] == 6:
        # make background color red and make number orange
        nlistt[i] = '\033[1;33;41m' + str(nlistt[i]) + '\033[0m'
    print(nlistt[i])
