as Marcus reported, the console was only working in black & white the cause of the error comes from the following flow

What you *should* do is to call CreateCompatibleBitmap on the DC you got from GetDC. That's what all the Windows code I know of does.
the trouble is as follows :
- when a mem DC is created, its bits per pixel is always set to 1
Yes, that's documented Windows behaviour. You need to select a bitmap into it to change it. No Windows code expects otherwise.
