Add support to ConsoleColor

[MaxWhite3790]

Hello! I was wondering if you can add support for ConsoleColor to have a list of more default options.

Like, is it just me or is ConsoleColor.Blue different from Color.Blue?

There are so many blue options, and this one I choose one type of blue in one project and use another in another? The patterns of these projects will be lost.

Hello,

In Windows 10 starting with build 16257 (but only for new clean-installs) there is a new default console color scheme.

With the previous color scheme (now named Legacy) the ConsoleColor.Blue was the same as Color.Blue which had the equivalent of RGB(0,0,255).

With the New color scheme the ConsoleColor.Blue is now RGB(59,120,255).

See this article for more details.

Legacy Scheme (on Windows 7 SP1)

New Scheme (on Windows 10 21H1 19043.1288)

No color matches anymore, not even the White or the Black!

One workaround is to convert from ConsoleColor to Color and pass the value to Colorful.Console (since it only supports the Color type as input argument). Here's an extension method that can do the conversion from ConsoleColor to Color using the Legacy scheme: https://gist.github.com/cristianst85/06f147f7a93c0f2109a4d02fb53dfbc7.
