While there are two paths for changing the console color, will you be able to revert back to the original settings once you set colors via [System.Console]. Have a look:
[System.Console]::BackgroundColor = 'Blue'
[System.Console]::ForegroundColor = 'Yellow'
Clear-Host
[System.Console]::ForegroundColor = 'Yellow'
Clear-Host
This creates a blue console with yellow text. If you want to get back to the original color settings, you can simply call:
[System.Console]::ResetColor()
Clear-Host
Clear-Host
If you had changed colors using the PS object model through $host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor = 'Blue', ResetColor() would not return to the original color.
