    Change DOS color

    SYNTAX Sets 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 first corresponds to the background; the second the foreground. Each digit can be any of the below values.

    0 = Black
    1 = Blue      
    2 = Green
    3 = Aqua      
    4 = Red      
    5 = Purple
    6 = Yellow
    7 = White
    8 = Gray
    9 = Light Blue
    A = Light Green
    B = Light Aqua
    C = Light Red
    D = Light Purple
    E = Light Yellow
    F = Bright White

    If no argument is given, this command restores the color to what it was when CMD.EXE started. This value either comes from the current console window, the /T command line switch or from the DefaultColor registry value. The COLOR command sets ERRORLEVEL to 1 if an attempt is made to execute the COLOR command with a foreground and background color that are the same.

    EXAMPLE
    Color 2A = Creates a green background with light bright green text, similar to many of the FTP, telnet, and old BBS console screens.
