Use rxvt.  You can specify all sorts of colors with command line
switches or X resources (even though you don't need a X server running,
it will still try to read you .Xdefaults file.)

Or, if you must use a Windows CMD.EXE shell, right click on the shortcut
that launches the shell and there is a page where you can change font,
colors, rows x cols, etc.
