Sure, but so far no one has written a library to send the control 
codes (chr$(27) & "[m" followed by a number and a semicolon at 
its most basic, if I remember right.... Google Is Your Friend) 
so feel free ;)

It's also worth mentioning for completeness' sake that not all 
terminals are ANSI-compatible, though all Linux console/xterm 
type programs are that I know of.  Maybe it'd be worthwhile to 
make a whole "curses" component which would have much of the 
functionality of the Qt component, but for now I'd just suggest 
writing a library of ANSI color functions.
