I don't want to change the default colors as such, I want to use a custom color. For example I want to lighten the blue as it is too dark. I don't want to change it to a different color, but make it lighter.
Is that possible in linux? I can change the colors running linux sub system in Windows using the command prompt properties and adjusting the RGB values of each color, but wanted a similar change in pure linux itself.
Thanks :)

Like yourself one of the first things I had to do for Ubuntu on Windows was remap an unreadable blue to more readable cyan. But I never had that problem with Ubuntu on Linux.

Yes, I wanted to edit the pre-defined colors. I haven't tinkered around much with Linux much yet, but have been using the Ubuntu under Windows 10 option and have since installed Linux on 3 PC's now. They all seem to have a dark blue that is almost impossible to read. I'm still transitioning from Windows to Linux and learning where the Linux alternatives are. Thanks for the easy solution :)
