I often run commands in cmd.exe that have pretty colors in their output, which is great. Unfortunately, sometimes they die in the middle, or I have to kill them, and then the console window itself gets stuck in (say) red text on black background, which is awkward.
How do I reset the text color to the default?
On a unix terminal, I can type reset
-- I'm looking for the cmd.exe equivalent of that.
Disappointing that
color 00
doesn't work... – tim_hutton – 2015-12-18T13:38:40.483All 3 answers so far are very helpful, but
color 07
(and not justcolor
) worked here, so I'll mark this one. – Ken – 2010-06-30T22:32:39.953color
has on my environment the same effect ascolor 75
(purple on light gray), a combination that I set as the default in console's settings (and that I would like to remove now).color 07
turns my console into a scary white on red. – xverges – 2014-01-06T14:36:05.943
