I think that cout should not be used when trying to print out something
colored. You should instead use cprintf.:

*****begin
#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
  int i=0;
  for(i=0; i<16; i++)
  {
    textcolor(i);
    // commented out cout << "ABCDEFG\n";
    cprintf("ABCDEFG\n\r");
  }
}

*****end

Remember that cprintf behaves differently from printf in handling '\n',
so you have to add a '\r' to be sure to go to the next line ('\n':
newline) and to go to the start of the line ('\r': carriage return).
