Installation

Terminal.app doesn't have full color modification support without some effort.
The following has only been tested on Snow Leopard. See the links below for updates. I make no claims as to the effectiveness of these methods. iTerm2 may be an easier all roung solution (desptie iTerm 2's terrible color management).

1. Install SIMBL from: http://www.culater.net/software/SIMBL/SIMBL.php

2. Install updated "TerminalColors" SIMBL plugin https://github.com/timmfin/terminalcolours http://github.com/timmfin/terminalcolours/raw/master/TerminalColours-SL-64bit.zip

( see blog post here for details: http://www.byteengine.net/custom-colors-in-snow-leopard-terminal-64-bit )

The above runs in both 64 bit and 32 bit mode. If you have trouble using it, you can also try the older 32-bit mode only TerminalColors plugin below:

xterm-256color variant

Terminal.app does not normally support being set to xterm-256color from within its preferences. I have modified the two files in the xterm-256color folder to specify an xterm-256color $TERM value. This will only work if you have an existing terminfo file for xterm-256color.

The advantage of the xterm-256color mode is some better support for background toggling. It does not fully support true 256 color mode however.

The Values

L*a*b values are canonical (White D65, Reference D50), other values are matched in sRGB space.
