@JacobNovitsky Simply configure the terminal started by QtCreator once. How to do that depends on terminal used.

Depends on the terminal used. Why don't you simply look in the terminal (menu, context menu, documentation, ...)?
Regarding specific terminal colors for a specific application: I don't know. I'm also wondering about such a requirement.

The only thing I can think of is that the "terminals" which an application might create (if that is what is meant) may accept control code sequences to change the color of further text, so that you can make all the output from one program in its terminal be in blue and another all in yellow. You can probably change background colors too. See e.g. How-to: Use ANSI colors in the terminal. ANSI sequences work at least in Windows Command Prompt and Linux xterm or similar.

You could simplify this by using a library like https://github.com/termcolor/termcolor
