Hi,
You have 2 choices here. 1. You can change the default terminal colours in you .Xdefaults. As an example, for rxvt-unicode (a.k.a. urxvt), you can put this in you .Xdefaults: ! tangoesque scheme urxvt*background: #111111 urxvt*foreground: #babdb6 ! Black (not tango) + DarkGrey urxvt*color0: #000000 urxvt*color8: #555753 ! DarkRed + Red urxvt*color1: #ff6565 urxvt*color9: #ff8d8d ! DarkGreen + Green urxvt*color2: #93d44f urxvt*color10: #c8e7a8 ! DarkYellow + Yellow urxvt*color3: #eab93d urxvt*color11: #ffc123 ! DarkBlue + Blue urxvt*color4: #204a87 urxvt*color12: #3465a4 ! DarkMangenta + Mangenta urxvt*color5: #ce5c00 urxvt*color13: #f57900 !DarkCyan + Cyan (both not tango) urxvt*color6: #89b6e2 urxvt*color14: #46a4ff ! LightGrey + White urxvt*color7: #cccccc urxvt*color15: #ffffff (This was taken from http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdefaults#Terminal_colors, but you can find example all around). I suggest you also to check what colour it outputs by using simple tools like gcolor2 and if you don't like how they go, just change them or check another "theme" somewhere. I would advise you to keep the "type" of colours as such: meaning if you want to change the dark yellow and the bright yellow, keep them in the yellow range. Maybe make them a less coloured yellow or more orange-ish, but don't make them green. Programs rely on these 16 colours for their output, at least the numbers, and you could end up with something unreadable (as you suggest in your mail). 2. change your PS1 variable (maybe the easiest) Do "echo $PS1" in a terminal, and see where the faulty colour is. Then, change it in your .zshrc file. You can also check this page (http://stevelosh.com/blog/2010/02/my-extravagant-zsh-prompt/) or this one (http://aperiodic.net/phil/prompt/) to get an idea of what you could get with a Zsh prompt.
