COLOR  Easily change the foreground and background color of the MS-DOS window.
Sets the default console foreground and background colors.

COLOR [attr]

attr        Specifies color attribute of console output

Color attributes are specified by TWO hex digits -- the first corresponds to the background; the second the foreground. Each digit can be any of the following values:

0 = Black 8 = Gray
1 = Blue 9 = Light Blue
2 = Green A = Light Green
3 = Aqua B = Light Aqua
4 = Red C = Light Red
5 = Purple D = Light Purple
6 = Yellow  E = Light Yellow
7 = White F = Bright White

If no argument is given, this command restores the color to what it was when CMD.EXE started. This value either comes from the current console window, the /T command line switch or from the DefaultColor registry value.

The COLOR command sets ERRORLEVEL to 1 if an attempt is made to execute the COLOR command with a foreground and background color that are the same.

EXAMPLES

Color 0A = Creates a Black background with light bright green text, similar to many of the FTP, telnet, and old BBS console screens.
