Console.ResetColor() Method in C#

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

Console.ResetColor() Method is used to the foreground and background console colors to their defaults i.e. background to black and foreground to white.
Syntax: 
 

public static void ResetColor ();


Exceptions: 
 

  • SecurityException: If the user does not have permissions to perform the action.
  • IOException: If an I/O error occurred.


Below programs illustrate the use of the above-discussed method:
Example 1: Setting the console colors to red and yellow
 

csharp
// C# program to set the colors to red and yellow
// to demonstrate ResetColor() in next example
using System;

namespace GFG {

class Program {

    // Main Method
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // using BackgroundColor property
        Console.BackgroundColor = ConsoleColor.Yellow;

        // using ForegroundColor property
        Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;

        Console.WriteLine("Welcome to GeeksForGeeks");
    }
}
}

Output:
 


Example 2: Resetting the colors to default
 

csharp
// C# program to illustrate the
// Console.ResetColor Property
using System;
namespace GFG {

class Program {

    // Main Method
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {

        // using ResetColor() Method
        Console.ResetColor();

        Console.WriteLine("Welcome to GeeksForGeeks");
    }
}
}
