UEFI standard tells about control sequences that can be used with OutputString function of the EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL. It seems I've tried all possible variants of escape sequences to apply different colors within one string. None worked.

Maybe anybody knows if it's possible (and how) to apply different colors within one string?
Thanks in advance

Hi, the only one way to change the background and foreground colors for OutputString() is by:
EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL
SetAttribute()

I've never heard about control sequences used to change colors, but I did only small work in uefi and it was few years ago.

Yes, SetAttribute works. EFI color constants are defined in the spec.
I'm soon going to make another tutorial on Simple Text Output to print a colored string centered on the screen (to show usage of ClearScreen, GetMode, SetAttribute, SetCursorPos,OutputString).
Different colors within one string require a sequence of SetAttribute-OutputString's. I've heard about escape sequences (also defined in the Spec) but never tried them.
