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 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 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 fc" produces light red on bright white
