What is the best way to display colored text in the console?

Question

C++ / C#

Interested in a convenient way in terms of design to display part of the text in color using esc sequences.
Now I'm using something like this:

#include <stdio.h>
#define TATR_OFF "\033[0m"
#define TATR_INF "[\033[1;34minf\033[0m] "
#define TATR_WRN "[\033[1;33mwrn\033[0m] "
#define TATR_ERR "[\033[1;31merr\033[0m] "
#define MSG_INF(msg) (TATR_INF msg)
#define MSG_WRN(msg) (TATR_WRN msg)
#define MSG_ERR(msg) (TATR_ERR msg)
int main() {
    puts(MSG_INF("info text"));
    puts(MSG_WRN("warning text"));
    puts(MSG_ERR("error text"));
    return 0;
}

Is there a more convenient way to organize such an output?
Windows command line does not support esc sequences - is there a cross platform option?

Good afternoon! For windows I use www.codeproject.com/Articles/16431/Add-color-to-yo... . In your case, if you use ansi color, you will have to patch cmd and powershell in Windows to support displaying colors. There are examples on the web.
