Yes. It's possible. Set "ok = red" in ansible.cfg or export  
"ANSIBLE\_COLOR\_OK=red". See "COLOR\_OK"  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference\_appendices/config.html#color-ok](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html#color-ok)

No. There is no such argument. It's not possible to specify a color for one  
task only. See "Callback Plugins"  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/callback.html#callback-plugins](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/callback.html#callback-plugins)
