I'm trying to print different colors with printf. I've tried the following:
System.out.printf("%s%s%s%s\n","\u001B[31m","abcd","\u001B[30m","xyz");
I was expecting abcd to be in red and xyz to be in black but everything is black.

Adding to what @LeonardoEmmanueldeAzevedo has mentioned, it does work in most IDEs (In the past, I have tested it in Eclipse and VSC). – Arvind Kumar Avinash Dec 01 '22 at 19:45
