Restoring console colors in windows 10

I noticed colors look wrong with Far Manager - my favorite file manager app. ;)

Why: Microsoft folks decided to “update” the colors by “brightening” the palette in Windows 10 1709. info

So how to revert to old colors: Microsoft released Color Tool . Download it, extract it somewhere and then run this command:

colortool.exe -b schemes\cmd-legacy.ini

This will affect the colors for both the current console and for the default console. Also there is some more alternative color schemes:

colortool.exe -b schemes\campbell-legacy.ini

colortool.exe -b schemes\campbell.ini
