the default typing color for text is yellow in centos, barely visible

[garegin16]

I didn't try other linuxes, but the default typing color for centos 7 in gnome terminal is yellow.

Does it look like these screenshots #1036 ?

[garegin16]

Yes. It's even worse on my screen. It looks bright yellow. I can't see anything

[vors]

Can you post a screenshot?

As a workaround, you can set background color to black or anything dark.

Can we turn this into a request for PSReadline to detect the background and choose an appropriate default set of colors -- unless they have been set by the user?

For that matter, is there any chance that we could get PSReadline to use some sort of configuration file rather than needing a long profile script to set all the colors? Especially now that we have (potentially) access to 256 xterm colors or even 16bit full color, and/or support for bold, etc...

Yellow on white is not right,
Nor is blue on black.
Wise color choices are great.

Same for me on OSX. Very bright yellow text on a white background. Only text I type.

[garegin16]

Huh. It didn't do that on my os x install. The text is black by default.

@Jaykul I like your suggestion, can you open an issue in http://github.com/lzybkr/psreadline

Power Shell command background seems to take on the value of the most recently used color of the screen background.
Discovered this by accident.
I can see my yellow commands against a darker background. I was using white as my background, then I changed it to a darker green, too dark, so I lightened it up to a nice shade of blue. Screen Snippet attached ,

Now that I have something that is workable, but not great, I am afraid to tweak it more, have to move on to more urgent work.
