COLOR /? can see the help information ~ : )
C:\>color /?
Sets the default console foreground and background colors.
COLOR
attr Specifies the color attributes of console output
The color attribute is specified by two hexadecimal digits -- the first
is the background, the second is the foreground. Each digit can be one
of the following values:
0 = black 8 = gray
1 = blue 9 = light blue
2 = green A = light green
3 = light green 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 parameters are given, the command resets the color to what it was
when CMD.EXE started. This value is either from the current console
window, the /T command line switch, or the DefaultColor registry value.
If COLOR is invoked with the same foreground and background colors, the
ERRORLEVEL is set to 1.
For example: "COLOR fc" produces bright red on bright white

The color settings applications that are not purely DOS above,
If you still require a richly colored display when using pure DOS and also hope for special displays like "Paint"...
Please search for the keyword "ANSI" in the forum function "Search", there are more detailed tutorials and applications : )

This is a DOS forum, so the first consideration is the DOS environment, not the cmd or command line environment. So what I oppose most is teaching Windows-related things right from the start

What I oppose most is not teaching things under Windows, but answering without clearly seeing the owner's question

The criticisms and reminders from DOSforever and electronixtar are correct~:)
I apologize for the previous failure to see the question clearly and the inappropriate response,
and I will definitely pay strict attention to and abide by it in the future~:)

Now I know that to set the foreground color and background color under DOS, you need to load the ANSI.SYS file. Who can provide a download for the ANSI.SYS file?
