When 2020s color science meets 1970s terminals: The default theme for Apple's Terminal.app has a great selection of 12 ANSI colors (+4 grays), whereas @gnachman's iTerm2 is meh and VS Code's is just sad, with 4 duplicate colors. @bjornornorn's Oklab surfaces why. (Mind you, if we ignore the choice of colors for default themes, iTerm2 is an amazing terminal emulator and VS Code's isn't too shabby either.)
