Changing Terminal Colors using Unix Commands?

I know this is my second Terminal question in two days but after Avalon told me about logging into text mode I was wondering if there are any commands to change the text color when I'm in text mode?

A couple of links to help...

You change colors using escape codes. Put them in .bashrc or .bash_profile in your home dir.

Anything very very simple, like just one command?

No, but you only have to do it once.
(unless you like changing colors a lot)

Well ok I suck with Unix Commands so I was wondering if there might be a file I could download where I'd only have to change maybe a line so that it was Green text.

I currently have the 'bash startup file with colored prompt!!!' file from dotfiles.com but I haven't tested it yet, nor do I know how to use it.
