The `fish_config` utility is cool but I stopped using it after the first week. It's easier to just tweak things from the CLI. Note that colors are simply stored as a set of universal vars; e.g., `fish_color_autosuggestion`. You can see them by typing `set -U`. > First off, when I am typing and fish suggests something, I get a > color that I don't like.

Even if one of the demo background colors is a close match for your terminal's background color the vagaries of color handling mean that what you see in the browser is unlikely to exactly match what you see in your terminal. In particular you may need to add `set fish_term24bit 1` to your ~/.config/fish/config.fish to force fish to use 24-bit colors rather than downgrading them to the 256 or 16 color palettes.
