If an old ANSI.SYS color fan then this might bring some joy, as one can colorize the command prompt console by changing the foreground and background color.

Edit the registry and add/update this setting (REG_DWORD):

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software \Microsoft \Command Processor]
DefaultColor = 0A (Black background=0 with green text=A)

Colour codes available:

Code (Hex)Color
0black
1blue
2green
3cyan
4red
5magenta
6yellow/brown
7white
8gray
9bright blue
Abright green
Bbright cyan
Cbright red
Dbright magenta
Ebright yellow
Fwhite

Note one can also use the program “COLOR” from the command prompt to change the color.

COLOR 0A

Note one can also select properties for a shortcut to the cmd.exe, and select “Properties” and change the colors in the fan “Colors”.
