A module that only sets the console color is a little too light to be a phobos
entry.
A more comprehensive module that included:
1. getting mouse input
2. getting size of the console
3. moving the cursor around
4. drawing boxes in the console window
5. setting the contents of the title bar
6. supporting cut/paste
7. getting no-echo raw input
8. setting the size of the cursor
would be a definite candidate. I.e. a module that can support building a text
mode screen app (like a text editor).
