does anyone have tips for setting up a colourscheme in the shell that doesn't have some horrible clash in it somewhere? I'm trying to write down advice but personally my approach has been "just use Solarized Light & accept that some things will look bad occasionally” and that doesn't seem great (some "bad" things in the screenshots)

curious to hear anything that's worked for you! The only thing I know of that seems useful is the "minimum contrast" feature some terminal emulators have

@b0rk Start from the highest-contrast version of the colors you want, with everything set to either FF or 00, and then tone down the contrast so that it looks nice. This isn't what I did to get my colors - I don't remember what I did, exactly. But it's how I would get back the colors that I do have if I ever had to get them back from scratch.
