You're already using printf in the true branch of your if statement, which supports formatted output. How about something like this, assuming $CS contains the truth value of your "Found" vs "Not Found" condition:

printf "$color%-50s%s$RESET\n" "$url" "$status"

Where $color is the ANSI code for the desired color, $RESET is the ANSI code \e[0m and $url and $status are the URL string and the [Found] or [Not Found] status strings, respectively.

Here's a full example. Note I've used sh in the shebang, but this is fully compatible with bash syntax as well:

#!/bin/sh

BLUE="^[[0;34m"
RED="^[[0;31m"
RESET="^[[0m"

CS=0

for url in http://example.com/foo http://example.com/longer_address ; do
    if [ $CS -eq 0 ]; then
        color=$BLUE
        status='[Found]'
    else
        color=$RED 
        status='[Not Found]'
    fi

    printf "$color%-50s%s$RESET\n" "$url" "$status"

    CS=1 # Change truth condition for next test
done
