In this tutorial I will show you how to change the text background and foreground colour in the console window.

1. Start up a new Console Application project (File -> New Project -> Console Application -> OK)

2. Go into the main function in Program.cs

3. And use this code:

Console.BackgroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;

Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Black;

This changes the Background colour to Red and the Foreground colour to Black.
You can then test it by putting in this code:

Console.WriteLine("Colour Test");

and then run it.
You can replace the Red and Black with any of the colour's I have listed below.
Enjoy

Black
Blue
Green
Cyan
DarkBlue
DarkGreen
DarkCyan
DarkRed
DarkYellow
DarkMagenta
DarkGray
Red
White
Yellow
Gray

Well, duh! Of course, you are only changing a property. Even an idiot would be able to figure this out. ******* n00b.

I'm only joking, of course. :)
