How to change text color and console color in code::blocks?

I am writing a program in C. I want to change the text color and background color in the console. My sample program is -

#include 
#include &

You can also use rlutil:

• cross platform,
• header only (rlutil.h),
• works for C and C++,
• implements setColor(), cls(), getch(), gotoxy(), etc.
• License: WTFPL

Your code would become something like this:

#include 

#include "rlutil.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    setColor(BLUE);
    printf("\n \n \t This is dummy program for text color ");
    getch();

    return 0;
}

Have a look at example.c and test.cpp for C and C++ examples.
