change powershell command color

Question

How do I change the command color in powershell? Currently it is yellow and when I use powershell nested in Intellij, I can't read the yellow command on white background.

Solution 1

Regarding @LotPings answer, I solved my issue. The following command in powershell changed the command color from yellow to green:

Set-PSReadLineOption -colors @{ Command = "Green"}

Solution 2

You can also set an environment variable in the terminal settings:

IntelliJ terminal settings

Then edit your powershell profile and add something like this:

if ($env:CommandColor) {
    Set-PSReadLineOption -colors @{ Command = $env:CommandColor}
}

And which entry I have to change? I tried $host.UI.RawUI.ForegroundColor, but the ugly yellow still remains
