Either that, or invoke the entire shell program with it.
If you want to set it up from within a shell program, here's how to do it in
ksh & shells with similar capabilities. Remove the -u from the sed commands if
you aren't use GNU sed. Note that even with -u, output to different fds isn't
guaranteed to be delivered in the order that it was generated.

# Setup: filter output through processes that prefix each line with appropriate
# terminal sequences.
exec 3>&1
sed -u "s/^/$(tput setf 2)/" >&3 |&
exec 3>&- 1>&p
sed -u "s/^/$(tput setf 1)/" >&2 |&
exec 2>&p

# Shell program here

# Cleanup: revert to default colors, and close coprocess inputs and wait for
# them so that all output will be delivered before the shell program exits.
tput sgr0
exec 1>&- 2>&-
wait

Hey, you can try grc. It have by default some recepies for ping,
traceroute, etc, but you can create your own depending what you need.
