@John, I added the line continuation character ` due to the need to break up the line of code for publishing to the blog. You are correct in that if you make a complete single line out of the code it will work. When the blog was published, an extra space was added behind the line continuation character, so that when you copy and paste from the blog an error is generated. I have edited the above post to remove the space after the backtick ` character, and therefore there is no need to remove the line continuation character. Therefore $psISE.Options.OutputPaneTextBackgroundColor = `

([windows.media.colors]::$($_.name)).tostring()

is correct.
