# Set your terminal's color palette to match the Solarized color scheme by
# using escape sequences.  Uses OSC 4 to set colors.
#
# This will work with many terminal emulators, but not all.

set -o nounset

# This next line would set the colors in the 256 color pallette which normally approximate
# solarized.  Not a universal solution, but it helps with getting vim to look
# right! Stick this in your .vimrc just before "colorscheme solarized":
# let g:solarized_termtrans=1
# let g:solarized_termcolors=256
# See https://github.com/altercation/solarized/issues/8 for more information.

Try using the values from this other config and paste them into the SSH Secure Shell "Options" page accessible from the Connection screen in that app, or if trying to apply to "Terminal" for the Linux VM in ChromeOS open the Terminal and hit Ctrl+Shift+P and fill out the same way as you would SSH Secure Shell.

Awesome, thanks for this @johnbender!

For those that would like to use some other color scheme, go to https://terminal.sexy/, find a scheme you like, under export options pick Chrome Secure Shell, take the generated key-value pairs.

If you're stuck using the now deprecated Chrome Secure Shell App, like me, once you're in options (to open use ctrl+shift+p while in the Chrome Secure Shell app) open the Javascript console (ctrl+shift+j) and put the generated key-value pairs in a dictionary and loop over it:

settings = {
"background-color": "#b5d8f6",
"foreground-color": "#2a343a",
"cursor-color":     "#2a343a",
"color-palette-overrides": ["#232c31","#2a5491","#237986","#a03b1e","#484d79","#c59820","#b02f30","#9ea7a6","#3f4944","#2a5491","#237986","#a03b1e","#484d79","#c59820","#b02f30","#b5d8f6"]
}

for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(settings)) {
  term_.prefs_.set(key, value)
}
