In C I can do:

printf("\033[31;1;4mHello\033[0m");
and get red text in the terminal (MacOS). When I do the same thing with
writeln and FPC it prints the literal characters with no colors. Why
doesn’t this work the same in FPC I wonder?
Because Pascal isn't C. :)
Try:
writeln(char(27) + '[31;1;4mHello' + char(27) + '[0m');
That might not work, but it's damn close to what would ;)
