Blue for initial headers, green for successful tests, red for failed tests. Anyone know if there's a more portable way to do that than outputting cryptic "\033[01;31m" type terminal codes? Maybe curses? Because now I totally want standard libMesh support for colorful pretty output.More portable I don't think so, more readable, yeah there probably is something...
More readable I'm not worried about; we'd wrap it in "libmesh_red()" or "libMesh::Color::red()" or something else designed to be handed off to an ostream. It'd just be nice to do some sort of tty detection so that when someone runs with a stdout that doesn't support color they instead see black and white rather than garbage. --- Roy
