How do I print / puts with color?

Like in the cucumber tests, there are color-coded outputs... how do I do that?

I'm not sure this is from any gem I have, but doing thig will result in purple output.

puts "\e[0;35m this is a purple text \e[0m\n"

Do you mean in the context of irb? If so, I'd suggest Wirble to colourize your output.
