Set-ConsoleColor
SYNOPSIS
Set the PowerShell console color.
SYNTAX
Set-ConsoleColor [[-Foreground] <ConsoleColor>] [[-Background] <ConsoleColor>] [-ClearScreen] [-Passthru]
[-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
You can use this command to modify the PowerShell console's foreground and/or background color. If you are running the PSReadline module, that module has its own commands, like Set-PSReadLineOption, that you can use to modify your console. Set-ConsoleColor is designed for use in a traditional PowerShell console. It will not work in consoles that are part of the PowerShell ISE or Visual Studio Code.
EXAMPLES

PS C:\> Set-ConsoleColor -foreground Yellow -background DarkGray -clear
Set the console color to yellow text and on a dark gray background.
