Coloured text in python with import os? (Windows, Python 3)

Question

To put it briefly, I'd like to change the colour of separate strings being printed, using anything that comes with Python 3 (no modules as it's for a school thing).

I got as far as changing the colour of everything being printed, using this:

import os
os.system("Color 01")
print("Blue")

os.system("Color 02")
print("Green")

However, that just uses the last colour referenced ("Color 02" = Green). Would there be a way I could use this to set colour as intended, or by using something else in python?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

You can print colored text by specifying the ANSI escape sequence

import os
os.system("color")

COLOR = {
    "HEADER": "\033[95m",
    "BLUE": "\033[94m",
    "GREEN": "\033[92m",
    "RED": "\033[91m",
    "ENDC": "\033[0m",
}

print(COLOR["GREEN"], "Testing Green!!", COLOR["ENDC"])
