Improve ColorTool to see different schemes in Terminal #12736

Complex enough to require an in depth planning process and actual budgeted, scheduled work.
Product-Colortool
This is a problem with the utility application ColorTool for manipulating the console color palette.
Resolution-Duplicate
There's another issue on the tracker that's pretty much the same thing.
As a tool for being able to see these schemes applied in a terminal, I wrote this cmd script, ansi-colors.cmd, which can be used to put all the SGR parameters together. It is currently configured for showing 1, 4, 7, 30-37, 40-47, and 100-107, and the combinations of those which make sense.
While not written for creating this specific color scheme, I think this might be a tool worth adding to the repo to make it easier to see the different color combinations. It is all self-contained in one .cmd file with no necessary external dependencies. There is an option to use PowerShell to generate the ESC non-printable character, but in this gist it just uses one saved in the file. There is also an optional dependency on CHCP if the output is going to show Unicode, but it does not need to be required. It uses a data segment embedded in the file itself, so the definition of what is shown can quickly and easily be changed to something else.
