📉ConsoleBase - NKS0004
Use SetConsoleColor(Color) from KernelColorTools
This analyzer provides the following strings:
Error List
Caller uses Console.ForegroundColor
instead of SetConsoleColor(Color)
Suggestion Box
Use SetConsoleColor(Color)
instead of Console.ForegroundColor
Description
SetConsoleColor(Color)
not only brings better color support provided by the appropriate VT sequences, but it can also use true color. Console.ForegroundColor
only handles 16 colors.
Extended Description
This code analyzer detects the usage of ForegroundColor
from the standard Console
class found in the System
namespace. This property only supports up to 16 colors, and, in order to upgrade to 255 colors or true color, you need to have a console that supports it and a VT escape sequence to be able to set the foreground color of the console in any color you want.
As a result, SetConsoleColor
simplifies things up by using the Color
class provided by Terminaux to be able to set the color without being restricted to the domain of the 16 colors.
