But many console programs that use colors assume certain shades and look weird if you change the defaults. Nowadays I don't use many console programs that need color, but I've had problems in the past, when I used both a real console and a terminal emulator: colored programs didn't look the same in both interfaces. Today I seldom use a real console, but anyway I prefer to use the defaults if possible. > they're determined by the X resources, e.g.: For xfce4-terminal, gnome-terminal and maybe others, the colours can be chosen using a GTK color picker, much easier for newbies.
