   Not possible using the COLOR command. You'll have to use a separate tool   
   which changes the current console's color table - like the one shown on the   
   "Colors" tab of the console's Properties dialog. Note: native console. NOT   
   Terminal console (crap).   
      
   e.g. Microsoft's ColorTool   
      
   https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases/tag/1904.29002   
      
   Use the `.ini` file based color scheme, since it's a lot simpler than the   
   `.itemcolors` file based (but it support color calibration).   
      
   Note: may require at least Windows Vista.
