Does anyone know how to change the colour of text in Java? I'm getting a lot of input from my user in a program I'm writing, and it gets kinda difficult to follow with it all being one colour. Any help would be greatly appreciated =D

Hi everyone,
You can use either a JEditorPane or a JTextPane and highlight the
selected text programaticlly and apply the required color font. For more information see the JTextPane Api and also the below link

Thank You

And if you're writing a console application, forget it :)
Some consoles will print output on the error stream in a different colour but you have no control over it.
