Environment

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.145]
Windows Terminal built off master today, with ColorTool built off master today

I've built them both using release, Windows Terminal is deployed (Windows Terminal (Dev Build) launched from Start Menu).

Steps to reproduce

ColorTool.exe -c
ColorTool.exe {any iterm scheme}

bug_report_1
bug_report_2

Expected behavior

Color scheme should be set in local Windows Terminal instance.

Actual behavior

Its not getting set.

Note that I tried this out in a regular PowerShell instance launched from Start Menu and it seems to do what it's supposed to (at least from what I can tell), in that it sets the color scheme. I noted that the background color doesn't appear to be correct, which when I searched for ColorTool bug reports, I found #1150 which seems to be consistent with the behavior that I was seeing.
