Purpose: find a color output tool to use under cmd, without dropping back to command.

I looked up some materials about displaying colored strings in batch files. The situation is roughly like this:
driver -> DOS program -> Windows program

ANSI.SYS -> WRITEXT.EXE -> findstr /a -> colorcmd.exe
*.com ?.exe

So far this is the only one I've found for the Windows CLI: colorcmd.zip

colorcmd.exe
7.5 k, Ruby source included.

* findstr /a has a small problem. Because it relies on the carriage return for a second operation to complete it,
and the command line doesn't really refresh the screen much, sometimes that colon is still visible :(

Personally I don't think it's very useful; after all, if you're playing with DOS, pure DOS is better!
