Uh? A VT100 don't support ANSI color codes. A VT100 is very monochrome.
But technically, any application that want to play with color can always 
send the escape sequences required to make them happen. VMS isn't really 
involved here.

xterm do support colors, as do the VT525, using ANSI color codes.
