How to change the output color of echo in Linux

Question

I am trying to print a text in the terminal using echo command.

I want to print the text in a red color. How can I do that?

Answer 1

red='\e[0;31m'
NC='\e[0m' # No Color
echo -e "${red}Hello Stackoverflow${NC}"

This answer correct, except that the call to colors should not be inside the quotes.

echo -e ${red}"Hello Stackoverflow"${NC}

Should do the trick.
