This depends more on the terminal you use than on Tcl itself.
This, for example, works for me:
puts "\33\[05mBlinky"
(I'm using an XTerm).
See e.g. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code> for the whole,
convolved story.
That said, there's a class of libraries, typically called "curses" which
try to abstract such things. Perhaps a search on the Tcl wiki
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/_/search?S=curses>
might inspire you.
