Let's take the powershell command Write-Host "red text" -Fore red
this displays "red text" in a foreground of red.
But, you want the text to be displayed in a slightly lighter
font color, light red.
Is there a way to do this and get any foreground color (and background) in the RGB spectrum using powershell?
See this: https://github.com/PoshCode/Pansies
It is a PowerShell module that does this.
