$ color ${foreground_code}${background_code}

try on your machine

The command "color ${foreground_code}${background_code}" is used to change the text and background color of the command prompt or terminal window.

In this command, "${foreground_code}" and "${background_code}" are placeholders for numerical codes that represent different colors. These codes are typically written in hexadecimal format (e.g. 0A for green, 1F for white) or decimal format (e.g. 10 for green, 31 for white).

To change the text color, you replace "${foreground_code}" with the desired code. Similarly, to change the background color, you replace "${background_code}" with the desired code.

For example, if you want to set the text color to white (code 0F) and the background color to blue (code 01), you would use the command "color 0F01".

By using different combinations of foreground and background color codes, you can customize the appearance of your command prompt or terminal window according to your preferences.
