I'm trying to find a way (through escape characters or software) to display coloured lines in my php error log.

Right now I'm reading from them (live) with

tail -n 50 -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

which is great but I'd love to be able to error_log() certain lines to be red, for example, flag an authentication error. Is there any way to do this?

I'm using PHP 5.3 on Ubuntu 12.04
