I like see colors when my machine boot! For this reason i've find a solution for get colorated boot log on a debian sistem!! : D

Modify /lib/lsb/init-funcion
In particulary search these lines :

    if log_use_fancy_output; then
        RED=`$TPUT setaf 1`
        NORMAL=`$TPUT op`
        if [ $1 -eq 0 ]; then
            echo "."


And replace whit these :
      
********** Copy here ***************+
       if log_use_fancy_output; then

        RED=`$TPUT setaf 1`
        NORMAL=`$TPUT op`

        #Colors
        COLS=$($TPUT cols)
        COL=$(($COLS-8))
        UP=$($TPUT cuu1)
        END=$($TPUT hpa $COL)
        START=$($TPUT hpa 0)
        RED=$($TPUT setaf 1)
        NORMAL=$($TPUT op)
        GREEN=$($TPUT setaf 2)
        LBLUE=$($TPUT bold; $TPUT setaf 4)

        ## End colors section

        if [ $1 -eq 0 ]; then

           echo "$UP$END${LBLUE}:: ${GREEN}ok${LBLUE} :: ${NORMAL}"

************* STOP ************************+


Save and exit. For try and use other color add one or more of this line after the section #Colors

BLACK=$($TPUT setaf 0)
BACKBG=$($TPUT setab 0)
DARKGREY=$($TPUT bold ; $TPUT setaf 0)
LIGHTGREY=$($TPUT setaf 7)
LIGHTGREYBG=$($TPUT setab 7)
WHITE=$($TPUT bold ; $TPUT setaf 7)
RED=$($TPUT setaf 1)
REDBG=$($TPUT setab 1)
LIGHTRED=$($TPUT bold ; $TPUT setaf 1)
GREEN=$($TPUT setaf 2)
GREENBG=$($TPUT setab 2)
LIGHTGREEN="$($TPUT bold ; $TPUT setaf 2)
BROWN=$($TPUT setaf 3)
BROWNBG=$($TPUT setab 3)
YELLOW=$($TPUT bold ; $TPUT setaf 3)
BLUR=$($TPUT setaf 4)
BLURBG=$($TPUT setab 4)
LIGHTBLUE=$($TPUT bold ; $TPUT setaf 4)
PURPLE=$($TPUT setaf 5)
PURPLEBG=$($TPUT setab 5)
Pink=$($TPUT bold ; $TPUT setaf 5)
CYAN=$($TPUT setaf 6)
CYANBG=$($TPUT setab 6)
LIGHTCYAN=$($TPUT bold ; $TPUT setaf 6)

and repalce  in : 

echo "$UP$END${LBLUE}:: ${GREEN}ok${LBLUE} :: ${NORMAL}"

the color  in the { } (LBLUE, GREEN) whit one color.

For simplify the procedure you can use this patch. But i'm not sure that it
work!
