Keep in mind, this is sort of what's happening in the background. This function takes a three-digit hexadecimal number as the first argument. The first digit is the style, second digit is the bg color and the third digit is the text color. The bg color goes from 0 to 7, I think. Then the text color goes from 0 to F. cprintf(0x07F, 'Hello World') will print on grey background using white letters. Why do you insist using color names instead of numbers? 

#
# Usage: cprintf(COLOR, TEXT, [ARGS])
#
sub cprintf
{
  @_ > 1 or return;
  my $E = shift;
  my $A = ($E & 0xF00) >> 8; # Get font style
  my $B = ($E & 0x0F0) >> 4; # Get background color
  my $C = ($E & 0x00F);      # Get text color

# Linux/OSX cprintf solution using ANSI codes:

  $E = '2648375vnrptosqu';    # Color code translation table
  $E = "\x1B[" . (vec($E, $C, 8) - 20) . "m\x1B[" . (vec($E, $B, 8) - 
+10) . 'm';

  if ($A & 1) { $E .= "\x1B[05m"; }  # BLINKING
  if ($A & 2) { $E .= "\x1B[04m"; }  # UNDERLINE
  if ($A & 4) { $E .= "\x1B[03m"; }  # ITALIC
  if ($A & 8) { $E .= "\x1B[01m"; }  # BOLD

  print $E;        # Set color
  printf(@_);
  print "\x1B[0m";    # Reset color
  return;
}
