I moved the bug to nunit-3.0, because we're limiting new features in the 2.6 series.

However, reading it more closely than I did on the discussion list, I see you want to have the ability to inject color selectively in your own messages. This is already supported in the console, provided you are running on a system that recognizes ansi escape sequences embedded in console output, such as most unix-based systems. On MsDos, this used to be done by loading a special console driver. I'm not sure what's available in the Windows environment these days.

One problem with this approach is that you need to be sure that you'll be running the tests only on systems that support it.

We'll plan to implement this in 3.0 for our own output, using different implementations for Windows and Linux/Unix. Getting special colors within user messages will still require some work on the user's part.
