Colour Text and Background

[DJLad16]

Can someone give me a piece of code that changes the background and text colour or each individually?

You can change this in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Console\\ScreenColors

It's a REG_DWORD which is 0xa by default (white on black).

Otherwise you could try:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    for (int color = 1; color < 255; ++color)
    { 
        SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), color);
        std::cout << "Color: " << color << std::endl;
        std::cin.get();
    }
}

where setting color to:
10 = green on black
11 = cyan on black
12 = red on black
13 = Magenta on black
14 = yellow on black
15 = white on black

Edit: I skipped color = 0 because it's black on black (a little strange if you run this for the first time without knowing what's going to happen);

Thank's :D Can I ask what cin.get(); does? I've seen it a few times when people are changing text colour

Most people use it to wait for the user to hit the enter/return key
