How do I get the Matrix theme colors (Lime-Green text over black background) on the Terminal?

Question

On the terminal emulator, how do I get the Matrix theme colors (Lime-Green text over black background)?

I like the purple a lot, it matches my laptop. But for the terminal, I want green font. How is that possible?

Solution 1

Go to 'Edit' > 'Profile Preferences'. Then under the colours tab, untick the 'use colours from the system theme', and select 'Green on black' from built-in schemes (or create a custom one):

Solution 2

I you want to do this in a tty, aka using Alt+Ctrl+F1. Or without changing settings from the program. Enter the following into your terminal emulator:

echo -e "\033[32mGREEN"

To get white text back:

echo -e "\033[00mWHITE"
