It's not perfect, but most of the time you can send ANSI color sequences to
console devices.  Try this in a CLI:

<esc>[43m

40-47 sets the background color (numbers 44-47 wrap back to the same 4 colors)
30-37 sets the character color.

A more complete list can be found in the Rom Kernal Manual under 
"console device" part III, Chapeter 4.
