Read Original

This article investigates why terminal colors are often problematic, focusing on common issues like hard-to-read blue-on-black and bright-yellow-on-white. It explains the lack of standardization for the 16 ANSI colors across terminal emulators and presents two solutions: reconfiguring colors via your terminal emulator's settings or by running a shell script that uses ANSI escape codes, discussing the pros and cons of each approach.
