Use curses

import curses

curses.setupterm()

if curses.tigetstr('setf') is not None:
    # Red foreground, if supported.
    print (curses.tparm(curses.tigetstr('setf'), curses.COLOR_RED).decode('utf-8'))

>From man 5 terminfo:

To change the current foreground or background color on a Tek‐ tronix-type terminal, use setaf (set ANSI foreground) and setab (set ANSI background) or setf (set foreground) and setb (set back‐ ground). These take one parameter, the color number. The SVr4 documentation describes only setaf/setab; the XPG4 draft says that “If the terminal supports ANSI escape sequences to set background and foreground, they should be coded as setaf and setab, respec‐ tively.
