The <color> value is specified with two hexadecimal digits - the first corresponds to the background color, and the second to the foreground. The allowable colors are:
Supported color values 0 = Black
1 = Blue
2 = Green
3 = Aqua
4 = Red
5 = Purple
6 = Yellow
7 = White
8 = Gray
9 = Light Blue
A = Light Green
B = Light Aqua
