COLOR command
The COLOR command changes the colours of both console’s background and text.
Synopsis
COLOR [code]
Change console both background and text colours. The code code should be constituted of two character. The rightmost hexadecimal digit should represent the text colour and the leftmost should represent the console background colour. These characters must be one of the following values :
0 : Black 8 : Grey
1 : Dark blue 9 : Bright blue
2 : Green A : Bright green
3 : Grey-Blue B : Cyan
4 : Maroon C : Red
5 : Dark red D : Pink
6 : Khaki E : Yellow
7 : Bright grey F : White
. : Current default color
If you don’t specify code, then the color command will reset the colours to default (That is 07 on windows platforms and depends of the terminal settings on unix platforms).
The . specifier refers to the current default color, either background or foreground color. Note that a call to COLOR changes the default color, as such, the color referred to by . is not fixed across numerous calls to COLOR, as it is across PROMPT calls.
Compatibility
Fully compatible with cmd.exe.
