The "downvote" isn't mine - but, there are other answers that provide the OP's question, and they were posted some time ago. When posting an answer see: How do I write a good answer?, please make sure you add either a new solution, or a substantially better explanation, especially when answering older questions.

@iSahil this probably got downvoted because simply writing to standard error doesn't explicitly color anything. Many IDEs and consoles will interpret error messages and print them in red or similar, but that's not something you can rely on.

While this wasn't the direct answer to the question asked above, this was the answer I was looking for when searching for "java print in red console". Thus, I do feel like it has it's place on this page.

printing to a different output stream just for color will get you in a multitude of problems
