Q:

Colourful terminal or console?

I love colors in my console, and I wonder if there is any way to get a terminal (I guess only a software is able to do that) printing almost everything in colors.
Of course there is the --color=auto things, but it works for a few commands (ls, grep...?). What I would want, is something way more colorful, that works also for commands that are not made to use colors, I don't know if it's possible.
For instance, there is MobaXTerm for Windows (something like Cygwin) which uses a lot of color. Of course it's not only a terminal, but a complete software (another layer)... maybe it's the only way to get something seriously colorized?
Any clue would be really appreciated.

Thank guys for all the replies, but no one matched my needs. 
I wanted something non-intrusive, and I found it in cw. This is a nice soft that you need to add in the begining of your PATH. So of course, it doesn't work with every command (only the ones already defined), but the result looks very nice!

You can also use cope for this.
cope is a wrapper around programs that output to a terminal, to give
them colour for utility and aesthetics while still keeping them the
same at the text level.
