I found it easier to tune the 16 color palette in each of my various terminal apps than to try and get application-side terminal codes just right. In my ~/.Xdefaults for rxvt-unicode: ! yellow Rxvt*color3:rgb:F5/79/00 ! magenta Rxvt*color5:rgb:AD/7F/A8 ! cyan Rxvt*color6:rgb:88/8A/85 ! white Rxvt*color7:rgb:BA/BD/B6 ! ... And in my custom theme .el: (if (display-graphic-p) (setq color-yellow "#f57900" color-bright-yellow "#fce94f" color-red "#ff6464" color-bright-red "#ef2929" ... color-cyan "#888a85") (setq color-black "black" color-white "white" ... color-bright-magenta "brightmagenta")) I then use these to set various faces `(minibuffer-prompt ((t (:foreground ,color-blue)))) `(highlight ((t (:background ,color-bright-yellow)))) `(region ((t (:background ,color-bright-blue)))) `(shadow ((t (:foreground ,color-bright-cyan)))) `(secondary-selection ((t (:background ,color-bright-magenta)))) etc. As a bonus, colored `ls` output etc. is nicer too. The raw 16 color palette is too saturated and often has bad contrast.

Yep. I just tune the 16-color palette in Terminology (it's an INI file) to my preferred theme for the same styling in the console and terminal applications (vim).

Yah, I do pretty much the same thing. The default colours are far too dark for the dark background, so I just increase the luminance of all the colours.

Additional bonuses include: Esc is actually Esc; you can bind Ctrl+Shift or Cmd; you can use more than one font at a time; you can display a picture; change the shape of the cursor... It's like a time machine that takes you 20 years forward - into 1989.

  There is, however, considerable upside in having all the same key bindings whether you're in local UI (maybe using tramp) or ssh to a remote server. Tramp has limitations and is a bit clunky so I use it rarely. Clipboard integration and mouse cursor support are the two reasons I generally break out emacs-ui (my shell script for it), otherwise it's emacs-nox, generally.

`ls` actually supports 24 bit color if you put the sequences in DIRCOLORS

It was saturated because older TTL displays did not allow for anything else! The red wire was a lot of red, and only red, or nothing and when the intensity wire is added, 100 percent red happened. Wash, rinse, repeat
