Command to change the color of command promptC:\>color 1aSets 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 firstcorresponds to the background; the second the foreground. Each digitcan 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 waswhen CMD.EXE started. This value either comes from the current consolewindow, the /T command line switch or from the Default Color registryvalue.

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

Example: "COLOR fc" produces light red on bright white
