Microsoft recently announced a new color scheme for the Windows 10 console.

Unfortunately, this new color scheme isn’t applied during an upgrade to the latest build (16257) because they don’t want to overwrite custom colors.

Here is a registry file that will update your color scheme to match the new color scheme in Windows 10 Insider Build 16257.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console]
“ColorTable00”=dword:000c0c0c
“ColorTable01”=dword:00c50f1f
“ColorTable02”=dword:0013a10e
“ColorTable03”=dword:00c19c00
“ColorTable04”=dword:000037da
“ColorTable05”=dword:00881798
“ColorTable06”=dword:003a96dd
“ColorTable07”=dword:00cccccc
“ColorTable08”=dword:00767676
“ColorTable09”=dword:00e74860
“ColorTable10”=dword:0016c60c
“ColorTable11”=dword:00f9f1a5
“ColorTable12”=dword:003b78ff
“ColorTable13”=dword:00b4009e
“ColorTable14”=dword:0061d6d6
“ColorTable15”=dword:00f2f2f2
