i tried to add that script to "rc.local" and this is the code look like? Still no change in my text color.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local
echo -en \\03332m\\033[8] >/dev/console
