#define RED "\x1b[0;31m"
#define YELLOW "\x1b[0;33m"
#define RESET "\x1b[0m"

printf(RED"This text is red. \n"RESET); //This code works OK

The code below is what I want to do but it doesn't work. I want to change the text color based on the string variable color.

if (var > 5)
strcpy(color,RED);
else if (var > 3)
strcpy(color,YELLOW);
else
strcpy(color,RESET);

printf("%s My text to change color. \n",color); //the text color doesn't change

The above code does work after all. The error was unrelated to the code above. I'm sorry if anyone spent too much time finding another solution.
