Do you mean each pixel?
You need to add a term.setTextColor(color) function

Yeah as in make a pixel say 1, 2 be green and pixel 1, 3 be blue?

In order to color a "pixel" (cursor position) you have to set the background color and then write a space.

local function setPixel(x, y, color)
  if not term.isColor() then
    error("This is not an advanced terminal.")
  end

  term.setBackgroundColor(color)  
  local oldX, oldY = term.getCursorPos()
  term.setCursorPos(x, y)
  write(" ")

  term.setCursorPos(oldX, oldY)
end

term.clear()
setPixel(1, 2, colors.lime)
setPixel(1, 3, colors.blue)

-- This is just to get the cursor out of the way so you can see the results.
local _, y = term.getSize()
term.setCursorPos(1, y)

Edit: Changed the ending of the code slightly.

Well, i found what i was looking for!!! it was the paintutils api!!! Thanks alot though!! The paintutils.drawPixel(x,y,color) was what i mean very helpful, saw it in some code in another program! I further went into a computer and typed 'Help paintutils' and it popped up!! Thanks for effort though guys ^^
