Does not seem to work with Windows XP and above.
Sad face :(
I wanted orange background, so I could have an OSOD (oh, sod).
Bugger!
this tip only works under Win95/98/ME. the tip never worked on an NT-based Windows OS because the pre-defined BSOD colors are "hard coded" into the NT OS Kernel files (ntoskrnl.exe, ntkrnlpa.exe, etc.) and would require some editing or modifying those NT OS Kernel files in order for NT-based Windows OSes to display different BSOD colors.
see this interesting blog in japanese:

and check out these blogs by Mark Russinovich on changing BSOD colors on NT-based versions of Windows:

there's a tool called NotMyFault which allows changing the BSOD color. the newest version of NotMyFault only works on Windows XP and newer and not older versions of Windows.
