Chrome and Firefox provide console colors via CSS style formatting. Chrome started mimicking Firebug's %c option around 3 years ago: http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/130941 Details on how to use console colors are found at http://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/console-api#consolelogobject-object and https://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Console.log
As setting the colors on IE's console is not an option, we can use console.info for good messages, and console.error for errors. As Internet Explorer only returns info about its console when the dev tools are active, it can be helpful to have the console open before loading the page. Either that, or you can reload the page after opening the console.

Using blanket via web browsers currently results in the ANSI color codes not being supported by their consoles.
This is a fix for both Chrome and Firefox, along with optionally Internet Explorer too.
Details on the Chrome and Firefox console colors are found at http://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/console-api#consolelogobject-object and https://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Console.log
Whereas with Internet Explorer we can use console.info and console.error to obtain a suitable display on its console.
