When you open command prompt (DOS), you get the obligatory black screen with white text. BORING...
With a simple command you can change all that!

1. Open Command Prompt <START><RUN> type: cmd
2. To change the color of the screen it is EASY.
3. type color [foreground] (text color) [background] (screen color)
example: color 17 gives you a blue background with white text.

The color codes are as follows:

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 you want to open a Command Prompt window with your favorite colors type <WIN>-R (brings up run command)
type: cmd color [foreground] [background]
