If you want multiple colors in the same string, the easiest way to do this is to edit do_say in act_comm.c, find the part that says "you say", and add the color codes in manually.

Something more like

at_dblue "you say, " at_lblue "hello"
(yes, yes, I ignored caps for the color codes)

Simply adding the color tags won't do anything if your print function doesn't support color. There are a few other threads along similar lines you might want to read up on if you're serious about doing this.

Are you getting compilation errors with it? Is it rebooting properly after you compile?

Your not getting any errors while compiling? You can also paste your code here, and we will take a look.

You mention on another post that you can't get cygwin to compile. After you are changing your .c files, are you compiling these changes into a new executable file? If you are not compiling, or if the compiling fails, then you will not see any changes.

The source on this site should compile under Visual Studio with little problems.

Cygwin *does* take a lot of disk to install, however these days hard disks are cheap. Perhaps upgrade your disk, or add a second one?
