DOS is not a terminal emulator so it has no easy capability to change colors on the screen. In a modern DOS window, you have the ability to change the entire window color scheme (click on the little icon in the upper left corner and select Properties). You can (with some effort) do some things with DOS colors. Here is a reference: http://www.robvanderwoude.com/index.html

With DOS you can change screen colors, but as I recall (and it's been a while it requires load ansi.sys in the config.sys.
