If I understand you correctly then the way color is set on a terminal depends on the terminal itself and not the platform? I assumed that it was a platform specific detail, and as long as you knew that you were compiling for Linux for example, then you would know how the implementation should behave in order to work on Linux. But if it's left up to each individual terminal how color should be set then I agree that colored printing sounds difficult to implement in the standard library and might just be left to 3rd-party libraries. But if it's up to every individual terminal how it should be implemented, then how does C# manage to make it work? Sorry for asking two questions in one response.
