I use the DOS PROMPT environment variable to set my screen colors,
example:

PROMPT=$e[0;32;40m$p$g

sets the screen foreground (text) color to blue (or is it green) and the
background color to black.  For more exact info see the DOS manual for
more info on PROMPT and the DOS Tech. manual for ANSI.SYS escape codes
which I use to set screen attributes.
