You can do colours as well!

My Linux TTY with a coloured /etc/issue message

Oh nice, I'm only just getting started and still don't know what possible, funny how we use the same font XD

Oh cool, I believe only 4bit colours are possible, you can use this table from Wikipedia and the escape sequence \e[<FG>m replacing<FG> with your chosen foreground colour. Also \e[0m to reset everything.

funny how we use the same font XD

Haha yeah! I noticed that too!

I think I just used regex look aheads and look behinds to insert the colours easily.

Edit: Oh you can change that actual TTY font to a bigger one, if the text is too small too.
