COLOR

Sets the colors for the text and background of the command prompt.

COLOR [attr]

Where:

• attr - Specifies the window colors. Two hexadecimal digits are used to set the colors: the first for the background and the second for the text. Each digit is associated with a color:
  • 0 - Black
  • 1 - Dark blue
  • 2 - Green
  • 3 - Water green
  • 4 - Burgundy
  • 5 - Violet
  • 6 - Olive green
  • 7 - Light gray
  • 8 - Gray
  • 9 - Blue
  • A - Lemon green
  • B - Light blue
  • C - Red
  • D - Fuchsia
  • E - Yellow
  • F - White

If no parameters are specified, the default colors will be restored (white or light gray text and black background). With a single decimal place, the background color returns/remains black, while only the text color changes. If the same number is entered for both background and text, the colors are not set.

Examples:

1. Set the text color to blue and the background color to white:

color f9

 

2. Reset to default colors:
