Thanks Chris , That's exactly what I was looking for. For anyone else who needs help with this, here are my working examples, with a little explanation.
echo -e "\033[34m Contact List \033[0m"; <- The "34m" part makes Contact List a dark blue color and the "0m" at the end stops the coloring. If I don't change it to 0, my prompt will also be dark blue. If I use 31m instead of 34m, then Contact List will be red, instead of dark blue, echo -e "\033[31m Contact List \033[0m". I hope that helps someone.
