How to echo with different colors in the Windows command line

Question

I know that the color bf command sets the colors of the whole command line window but I wanted to to print one single line in a different color.

Answer 1

call :color_echo "blue" "blue txt"
call :color_echo "red" "red txt"
echo "white txt"

:color_echo
    @echo off

    set "color=%~1"
    set "txt=%~2"

    set ESC=
    set black=%ESC%[30m
    set red=%ESC%[31m
    set green=%ESC%[32m
    set yellow=%ESC%[33m
    set blue=%ESC%[34m
    set magenta=%ESC%[35m
    set cyan=%ESC%[36m
    set white=%ESC%[37m

    if "%~1" == "black"   set "color=!black!"
    if "%~1" == "red"     set "color=!red!"
    if "%~1" == "green"   set "color=!green!"
    if "%~1" == "yellow"  set "color=!yellow!"
    if "%~1" == "blue"    set "color=!blue!"
    if "%~1" == "magenta" set "color=!magenta!"
    if "%~1" == "cyan"    set "color=!cyan!"
    if "%~1" == "white"   set "color=!white!"

    echo | set /p="!color!!txt!"
    echo.

    REM : return to standard white color
    echo | set /p="!white!"

    REM : exiting the function only
    EXIT /B 0
