Recently, Microsoft added a new color scheme to the command prompt in Windows 10. The command prompt now supports the full range of RGB colors and is no longer limited to 16 colors. The newer color scheme is brighter and more colorful than the previously used one. While it is possible to apply the new scheme to older Windows versions, Microsoft has decided to simplify this process even more. They have released a Console ColorTool app, which allows switching the color scheme of the command processor with one click. Here is how you can download more color schemes for the command prompt.
