Customizing Colors

Color mappings come from ansi-term.

Here is what I have in my .emacs file, but note I use a light (white) background. Note that although the main setting is ansi-term-color-vector, the color definitions for that have to come beforehand.

(defface term-color-darkgreen
  '((t :foreground "DarkGreen" :background "DarkGreen"))
  "Face used to render dark green color code."
  :group 'term)


(defface term-color-cadetblue
  '((t :foreground "CadetBlue" :background "CadetBAlue"))
  "Face used to render dark cadet blue color code."
  :group 'term)

(defface term-color-purple
  '((t :foreground "Purple" :background "Purple"))
  "Face used to render dark Purple color code."
  :group 'term)

(defface term-color-darkgoldenrod
  '((t :foreground "Darkgoldenrod" :background "Darkgoldenrod"))
  "Face used to render dark Darkgoldenrod color code."
  :group 'term)

(defface term-color-ivory4
  '((t :foreground "Ivory4" :background "Ivory4"))
  "Face used to render dark Ivory4 color code."
  :group 'term)

(setq ansi-term-color-vector
      [term
       term-color-black
       term-color-red
       term-color-darkgreen
       term-color-cadetblue
       term-color-blue
       term-color-purple
       term-color-darkgoldenrod
       term-color-ivory4])
