Color Whois
for Windows 11 and 10
Command Prompt

Set Up Colors

In the Deep Whois command line utility for Windows 10 and 11, you can choose a predefined Whois color theme during the initial installation.

To customize the colors later, just run the ’deep-whois -c’ command in Command Prompt or PowerShell. This lets you set specific colors for Whois text, links, domain names, and IPv4/IPv6 data.

Additionally, you can configure separate background colors for regular text and highlighted data elements, giving you complete control over the appearance of your Whois results.

Examples
