Output of some truffle console commands too dark for Windows Console

See original GitHub issue

I’ve asked for help in the Truffle Gitter before filing this issue.

Issue

What the issue is, in broad strokes.

Steps to Reproduce

Run: truffle console

Then type: web3.eth.getAccounts()

Expected Behavior

I can see all the accounts using the default text color of the console

Actual Results

The accounts are printed in dark blue color that can’t be readily seen against a black background

Workaround is to change Windows Console to a different background color

Environment

Operating System: Windows 10
Ethereum client:
Truffle version (truffle version): 5.05
node version (node --version): 12.18.3
npm version (npm --version): 6.14.6

Problem solved.

I figured the color palette set for cmd.exe and console apps had to be somewhere in the registry, so I just started setting different foreground/background colors via the “properties” dialog (via clicking on the top-left corner). Then I used ProcessMonitor to observe where it was writing its registry keys when I changed the color scheme.

That let me to discover: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console is where these settings are stored. And there was one specific for cmd.exe I found:

Deleted that %SystemRoot%_system32_cmd.exe key which had some suspcious “ColorTable” entries. Now all is good.

Sorry for the trouble.
