Windows 10: Are There Any Standard Definitions for the Color Codes in PowerShell 7.3 Syntax Highlighting

Does PowerShell have standard definitions for the different colors for syntax highlighting in the command line which makes it easier to read and understand complex commands? ChatGPT stated that colors typically represent: 1. Yellow: This color is often used for executable filenames or paths. 2. Light Grey / White: This color is used for command arguments or options that are being specified. 3. Dark Grey: Dark grey is typically used for additional arguments or parameters that provide values. 4. Blue: This color is often used for quoted strings, which represent paths or values with spaces.
