How can I reset the powershell colors

Question

I changed the colors of the powershell and now I can't change the color of the input text, is always yellow.

I changed the color of the background and the color of the text

The color of the background changed correctly but in the display text the color still is yellow.

Can I do something to reset the colors?

Answer 1

This resets the console colors (e.g., [Console]::BackgroundColor): (Paste in the powershell console)

[Console]::ResetColor() 

Answer 2

I realize this is an old question, but I found it in Google and have another solution.

Set-PSReadlineOption -TokenKind Command -ForegroundColor Black

This will change the input text to black. The available color choices are as follows:

• Black
• DarkBlue
• DarkGreen
• DarkCyan
• DarkRed
• DarkMagent
• DarkYellow
• Gray
• DarkGray
• Blue
• Green
• Cyan
• Red
• Magenta
• Yellow
• White

You can make this persist by adding it to your profile. It's enough to append the command to the end of the file.

In my case the profile is in: C:\Users\Billy\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1

To get the location of your PS profile type:

$profile 

If this file doesn't exist, you can create it with:

New-item –type file –force $profile

To see the current settings in your profile, use:

Get-PSReadlineOption
