Description of the new feature/enhancement

I'm using the Windows Terminal Preview with Version 1.5.3242.0 and using the PowerShell.

I have set the backgroundImage with desktopWallpaper, it's a nice feature, but the autocomplete will be hard to identify

I have tested the color scheme for windows terminal, but it seems that none of the color will affect the color of the autocomplete.

// profile
            {

              "cursorShape": "bar",
              "fontSize": 12,
              "fontFace": "Cascadia Mono PL",
              "acrylicOpacity": 0.5,

              "backgroundImage": "desktopWallpaper",
              "backgroundImageOpacity": 0.1,
              "useAcrylic": false
            },

// color scheme
        {

          "yellow": "#F1FA8C"
        },

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Did I miss some option for this feature, or can we add an option to set he color of autocomplete and its opacity?

You will need to configure this using the PSReadline options. Terminal does not offer autocomplete, PowerShell does. Sorry.
