Like in the cucumber tests, there are color-coded outputs... how do I do that?

you're asking about color output to a TTY-style screen, right? The usual output for Rails is web output. To colorize that, use CSS. — Larry K, Jun 24 '10 at 21:10

I'm not sure this is from any gem I have, but doing thig will result in purple output.

puts "\e[0;35m this is a purple text \e[0m\n"

Do you mean in the context of irb? If so, I'd suggest Wirble to colourize your output.
