$ color /?
try on your machine

The command "color /?" is used in the command prompt of Windows operating systems to display information about the syntax and usage of the "color" command.

Typically, when you enter "color" followed by a two-digit hexadecimal number in the command prompt, it changes the foreground and background colors of the command prompt window. The first digit represents the background color while the second digit represents the foreground color.

However, when you add "/?" after the "color" command, it acts as an argument to request help or information about the command. By typing "color /?", you are asking the command prompt to display a brief explanation of how to use the "color" command and what options or parameters are available.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
