changing fonts?

[Usura]

it is possible to change the colour of the font in the terminal by using come sort of code, not sure of the correct term, what im after is like cout << "hello" << endl; and hello would be bold or a different colour, can that be done?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    for (int i = 31; i <= 37; i++)
    {
        cout << "\033[0;" << i << "mHello!\033[0m" << endl;
        cout << "\033[1;" << i << "mHello!\033[0m" << endl;
