				Color attributes are specified by TWO hex digits -- the first
				corresponds to the background; the second the foreground.  Each digit
				can be any of the following values:

					0 = Black       8 = Gray
					1 = Blue        9 = Light Blue
					2 = Green       A = Light Green
					3 = Aqua        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 argument is given, this command restores the color to what it was
				when CMD.EXE started.  This value either comes from the current console
				window, the /T command line switch or from the DefaultColor registry
				value.

				The COLOR command sets ERRORLEVEL to 1 if an attempt is made to execute
				the COLOR command with a foreground and background color that are the
				same.

				Example: "COLOR fc" produces light red on bright white
