Answer 1

This is source code for a program that does what you want: http://www.mailsend-online.com/blog/setting-text-color-in-a-batch-file.html

I am beginning to think that there is no longer a built-in way to do this without an additional program, or modifications to the user's system.

An aside - For my scenario, if modifications to the user's system was a requirement, I'd simply opt to use python, IronPython, or JScript.NET instead.
