To change colors for a current TTY at user log on add tty-colorscheme [colorscheme] to your ~/.profile.
It still requires using sudo if you want to change colors across all TTYs.
If you get screen artifacts hit Ctrl+l or type clear.
Type reset to get back to the system default colors.
A colorscheme file looks like this:
color01=000000 # Black (Background)
color02=F44336 # Red
color03=4CAF50 # Green
color04=FFEB3B # Yellow
color05=2196F3 # Blue
color06=9C27B0 # Magenta
color07=00BCD4 # Cyan
color08=9E9E9E # White (Foreground)
color09=000000 # Black
color10=F44336 # Red
color11=4CAF50 # Green

color13=2196F3 # Blue
color14=9C27B0 # Magenta
