How to set the command (cmd) prompt colors

Question

Pretty easy to do in Bash, but, for the life of me, I cannot find a way to change the prompt (and only the prompt) colors in Windows 7's cmd window.

Note: the solution suggested in the comments seems to be limited with regard to 64-bit systems. It is replacing (extending, to be more precise) the command processor instead of playing within the rules (not necessarily a bad thing, though).

Answer 1

Try this command @reg add "hkcu\software\microsoft\command processor" /v defaultcolor /t reg_dword /d 0xf /f. any color also available from 0x0 to 0xf.

Answer 2

This question in SO, suggested in the comment to my question has answers that seem to be working on my Win10 machine.
