Setting Powershell colors with hex values in profile script

Question

I know I can change PowerShell console colors by setting in my profile something like:

$Host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor = \"White\"
Clear-Host

Answer 1

As far as I know, you can't. The console API doesn't support custom color. If you do this:

$x = (Get-Host).UI.RawUI
$x | gm

you'll see that BackgroundColor is of type System.ConsoleColor.
