Thanks for clarification, if it was actually the original meaning and aims.
Yes, we already answered to this question earlier.

We do not necessarily use Scilab because we have despaired of Matlab ;)
So all Scilabers have not necessarily used Matlab and not necessarily 
know its behavior.
I tried colors with its official clone Octave, no more finding a way to 
do that.

The first trial to implement this feature have stopped, i guess because 
it is not so easy to implement.
If any, the output buffer of the console is also used for the diary(). 
But the diary() file must
be kept clean of any formating instruction...

If someone has time to go on implementing this feature, yes it would be 
useful,
improving Scilab's ergonomy.

Best regards
