How to do it:

• Navigate to Start > Run and click on Run.
• In the input field, type "regedit" and then press enter.
• Navigate to the following key in the registry by clicking on the +'s next to the folders in the left pane (see picture below).
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Command Processor
• Right-click a blank space in the right-hand pane and go to New > DWORD.
• Name the new DWORD (or edit the existing one) "DefaultColor".
• Double click the new DWORD.
• Note: The way that the value for the key works is that it uses a combination of letters and number to determine the color. It uses a two letter/number combination. The first number/letter determines the background color, and the second one determines the foreground/text color. A combination might look like F3 or A5. Please see the list below to see what all of the colors are.
