Change CMD Color To FF

Question

Is there any way that you can change CMD into the colour FF? I am trying to hide a password when typed into a .bat file.

Current Batch File:

@echo off
cls
color 7F

set /P pcname=Enter PC Name: \\

set /P auser=Enter Admin Username: DOMAIN\
echo Please Press Enter, then type your password. (Your Password will be Blank)
pause
color FF
set /P apass=Enter Admin Password: 
cls
color 07
\\fs\scripts\remote \\%pcname% -u DOMAIN\%auser% -p %apass% "\\fs2\installs$\Office\2. Proxy On.cmd"
\\fs\scripts\remote \\%pcname% -u DOMAIN\%auser% -p %apass% ipconfig /flushdns
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
SET Choice=
SET /P Choice=IPFire is Now Configured with %pcname% and DNS has been Flushed

I don't think so. Perhaps if you use some 3.part software like this http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/17033/Add-Colors-to-Batch-Files — MadsTheMan, Feb 02 '16 at 12:04
Even if you could change the color, it's a bad solution. Better use some way to [input hidden text](http://stackoverflow.com/a/22282223/463115) — jeb, Feb 02 '16 at 12:14
If you check the ERRORLEVEL you will see that setting color to 00 or ff generates an error. — RGuggisberg, Feb 02 '16 at 12:32
You can also [borrow from PowerShell](http://stackoverflow.com/a/29216039/1683264) to hide password entry. — rojo, Feb 02 '16 at 12:34
