If you have ever made batch files or used command prompt on windows, you have probably noticed that the default command prompt window is white text on a black background. If you have ever wondered if there is a way to change these colours, well yes their is thanks to the 'color' command.
To use it, simply type 'color', followed by the two digit colour code representing your background and foreground (text) colours. These digits are the hexadecimal values representing the 16 available colours to choose from, as listed below. A valid example would be to type 'color 25', to set the background to green and the text to purple.
| Colour | Code | Colour | Code |
| Black | 0 | Grey | 8 |
| Blue | 1 | Light Blue | 9 |
| Green | 2 | Light Green | A |
| Aqua | 3 | Light Aqua | B |
| Red | 4 | Light Red | C |
| Purple | 5 | Light Purple | D |
| Yellow | 6 | Light Yellow | E |
| White | 7 | Bright White | F |
You can get this list in command prompt by using the 'color' command followed by an invalid colour code. Something to note is that if you just want to change the text colour, you an simply use the one digit colour code for that colour, such as using 'color 2' to set the text colour to green.
