yo doesn't reset console window colours on Windows

Repro steps:

(Windows 10, node 6.2.2, yeoman 1.8.4)

1. Run Windows 10 command prompt (this may well apply to previous versions of Windows, but it's also possible it's an artefact of the console window changes)
2. Clone https://github.com/tom-seddon/yeoman-colour-bug
3. Install yeoman-colour-bug generator with npm install then npm link
4. Set console window colours with color f0 (black on bright white)
5. Run the new generator to generate a file: yo yeoman-colour-bug fred test.txt
6. Run the generator again to regenerate that file, this time with a conflict: yo yeoman-colour-bug fred2 test.txt
7. Respond to the message by pressing Return

Expected results: You're back at the console prompt as normal.

Actual results: You're back at the console prompt and it's inherited the message colours of black on dark grey :(

Notes:

• All works fine if you use the default command prompt colour scheme of white on black
• Even if the colours were reset properly, the colour scheme still wouldn't be very readable

Thanks,
