How do I write color text to the Visual Studio output window from c#?

Question

I want to write color text to the Visual Studio output window from c#. I want to output red code from my unit tests.

Answer 1

Actually there are extensions for that. I use the lite (free) version of VSCommands for Visual Studio 2010. With the Pro version a regex could be set to make the colouring. In the lite version I add "warning" text to the debug message and it is written in light brown.
