I grew up on BBC basic in 1984. Not used thereafter.
Your first one is (I guess) this in python:
>>> for i in range(32,127):
... print chr(i),
...
! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; < = > ? @ A B C D E F G

If you tell us some more of what color, gcol etc do someone will likely show you
Though in all fairness I dont expect it to be as pithy as the BASIC
