[Python] How do I customize text color in IPython?

I'd like to customize the color of text in IPython, but am not sure how to do it.

I know that in Python, I can do this by ending sys.ps1 and sys.ps2 with an ANSI color code such as

sys.ps1=">>> \001\033[0m\033[34m\002"


But the corresponding approach, using PromptManager.in_template, does not work for IPython. For example

c = get_config()
c.PromptManager.in_template = 'In [{count}] : {color.Blue}'


has no effect on the color of text after the prompt.

Is there a way to change the color of text in IPython?
