Menu problems

[BlackMethod]

Ok, I was bored so I started to make a console game. I got my main menu constructed, not linked though. And started on my options. It goes to the options screen fine, but as soon as the function comes up where i go to choose text color, it does nothing. No more text entry, nothing. I uploaded a picture with it to show what i mean. I've done the "or" function before and it worked, but I think that's what's having the problem now. Here's my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>
using namespace std;

int name;
int mainmenutext;
int gametext;


char mainmenu[50];
char mainoptions[50];
char optiontextcolor[50];
int main () {

	HANDLE hConsole;

 hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);

 mainmenutext = 12;

  SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole, mainmenutext);

  cout <<"                                   BlackMethod                                  " <<endl;
  cout <<"                                    Presents                                    " <<endl;
  
  Sleep (2500);
  system ("cls");
  mainmenutext = 116;
   SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole, mainmenutext);
  cout <<"                                   City Runner                                  " <<endl;
  Sleep (3000);
  system ("cls");
  cout <<"                                    Main Menu                                   " <<endl;
  cout <<"                                                                                " <<endl;
  cout <<"                                     New Game                                   " <<endl;
  cout <<"                                    Load Game                                   " <<endl;

  cout <<"                                     Options                                    " <<endl;
  cin.getline (mainmenu, 50);
  while (mainmenu == "Options");
  mainmenutext = 235;
  SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole, mainmenutext);
  system ("cls");
  cout <<"                                     Options                                    " <<endl;

  cout <<"                                    Main menu                                   " <<endl;
  cin.getline (mainoptions, 50);
  while (mainoptions == "Text color" || "Text Color" || "Text Colour" || "Text colour");
  system ("cls");
  cout <<"                      What color would you like the text in game?               " <<endl;
  cout <<"                             Blue, green, red, white etc.                       " <<endl;
  cout <<"                        Please try only simple spectrum colors.                 " <<endl;
  cin.getline (optiontextcolor, 50);

  while (optiontextcolor == "Blue");
  gametext = 1;
  cout <<"                            Text sucessfully set as blue!                       " <<endl;

 
  return 0;
}

while (mainmenu == "Options");

What's this suppose to do?
You cannot compare plain old character arrays with ==.
Please switch to std::string.
It will make your live easier.

It will also go into an infinite loop if someone actually types 'Options'
Same problem with the other while loops
