In a rubiks cube solving program I'm writing, i wanna make it so if the space is red, then a red "R" appears. I don't know how to do this with out changing the color of all the text on the screen. I use:
system("Color XX");

If you're going to be doing this a lot, then create some small functions to do a lot of the repetitive stuff for you.

Thank you so much! It worked. Were you saying make the code into a function so that when I needed to change a color I could just say:
colorRed();or something to that effect?
If so, would I need to include any return values?

Pretty much - though a colour parameter might be better than a number of different (but similar) function names.

That's entirely up to you.
