        Definitely the latter: change. I use those ten colors constantly. 
But I get :

# dnf install 'dnf command(color_list_available_install)'

[root@localhost btth]# dnf color_list_available_install
No such command: color_list_available_install. Please use /usr/bin/dnf --

It could be a DNF plugin command, try: "dnf install 'dnf-
command(color_list_available_install)'"

        I've chewed and chewed on the above and several variant 
interpretations of it -- and I'm lost.

        Maybe I should say that my expressions like "soft blue" are my 
descriptions of what I actually do from Mate-terminal --> Edit --> 
Profiles then click on Default, then Edit, then Colors, then Custom, then 
one of the colors. Say I start with Text color. Then I click on a colored 
box, then on +. That gives me a window with a slider, which I can drag 
vertically to get, say in two dimensions till it looks purple. Then I get 
a purple window with two white lines; I drag the intersection in two 
dimensions till the little window in that box looks the way I want. Then 
I click Select, and the text on my open tab turns the color I had moved 
the cursor to.

        I repeat the above for background, then, over and over, for each 
of the other six profiles.

        Am I making sense yet?
