Colorize.pl is a short script that reads from stdin and writes to stdout. Rows that match a user's search strings will be colorized with user-defined colors. Command line options are available. Colorization is done via ANSI escape codes.

csed and colorize are both really nice tool, however my idea behind colorize.pl is extremly easy usage, which I was missing from all tools I tried out.
As you can see you just need to know that +:STRING or -:STRING is enough to use it. No need to read 20 minutes of documentation ;-)
