Randomizing text color and background color in batch file

Question

I am attempting to make a batch file that will randomize the color code when the script is run. How would i do this?

Answer 1

To change the color, you need the color command. The arguments are:

color <background><text>

So generating a random color works like this:

set /a rand1=%random% %% 16
set /a rand2=%random% %% 16
set HEX=0123456789ABCDEF
call set hexcolors=%%HEX:~%rand1%,1%%%%HEX:~%rand2%,1%%
color %hexcolors%
