Command Prompt still using this old 16-color palette

Submitted by litemininyuszika on January 14, 2009 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Legacy

If you want to change command prompt's color, you can see it's still using this old 16-color palette, at least it customizable.

Add some colors like in Paint, and still keep ability of customization!

A color picker would be nice but you actually can use any color you want? Just change the color values on the right ;) But still not very user friendly
