What MS-DOS command changes the cmd window default font and background color?

What MS-DOS command changes the cmd window default font and background color?

  • backg
  • color
  • font
  • cbpref 

EXPLANATION

The color command allows users running MS-DOS or the Windows command line to change the default color of the background or text.

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 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.
