17 It depends on your terminal app. I use (u)rxvt and I remap the colors
18 for it globally. Here are the settings (from .Xresources):
19
20 *.beNiceToColormap: false
21 Rxvt.background: seashell
22 Rxvt.color10: green4
23 Rxvt.color11: orange2
24 Rxvt.color14: cyan4
25 Rxvt.color2: green3
26 Rxvt.color3: orange
27 Rxvt.color6: cyan3
28 Rxvt.foreground: Gray40
