Changing log output line text color

Is there any way to change the color of the text written to the log output using groovy? I know when an exception is thrown it appears in red in the error log. Could I do this programmatically to the Log Output?

      Attr = Log.CreateNewAttributes();
      Attr.FontColor = RGB(22, 20, 23);
      Attr.BackColor = RGB(170, 227, 162);

        Looks awesome. Can you give an example on how to use this? I tried running the code but get multiple compilation errors.
