Command Prompt colors break on Windows 10
Summary
The command line forces the text color to be white on black, so if you change your colors, it looks like this
Steps to reproduce...
- Run command prompt and change the default background colour (right click title bar, click defaults, click a new colour)
- Launch BDS and note that the BDS output uses the standard white on black rather than the custom colours
What OP expected
Colours of BDS should adjust to the changes.
Environment
Windows 10, Command Prompt

Hi SF4,
Does this actually cause an issue?
I understand this to be a Windows thing rather than a Minecraft thing but can't say for certain.

It’s only visual
I believe this to be a Windows thing, not a BDS thing, but I don't know console applications well enough to know for sure.
Am going to confirm this as I'm able to reproduce but I don't believe its a BDS bug... At the very most, even if it is, its a trivial issue at best.
