That seems needlessly cumbersome, why not

  declare STDOUT_COLOR='\e[34m'
  declare STDERR_COLOR='\e[31m'
  declare COLOR_STOP='\e[0m'

  print_stdout() {
      echo -e "${STDOUT_COLOR}${*}${COLOR_STOP}" &> /dev/stdout
  }

  print_stderrr() {
      echo -e "${STDERR_COLOR}${*}${COLOR_STOP}" &> /dev/stderr
  }

Like why are you exporting? Do you really need those in your environment?

And those print statements aren't going to work by default.
