in thread 80x25 ASCII text art in terminal

Of course, printing ASCII art monochrome so boooring. Thankfully, someone invented colors in the 1990's.

Nope.

ANSI.SYS was included in MS-DOS since at least 3.3, i.e. 1988.

The HP 2627A terminal had 8 colors on a CRT, it was build in 1982. (But it looks like it does not understand ANSI standard color codes.)
