Environment

Windows build number: Version 10.0.18922.1000
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.2.1715.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open profiles.json
  2. In the "cmd" profile, change the value of colorScheme from "Campbell" to "Solarized Dark" (ensure this scheme exists in the built-in schemes list)
  3. Close and reopen Terminal
  4. Open the "cmd" profile

Also reproducible with WSL profiles (e.g. "Ubuntu").

Expected behavior

According to doc/cascadia/SettingsSchema.md, colorScheme selects the color scheme to use for the profile, so I would expect to see Solarized colors in my terminal.

solarized dark

Actual behavior

cmd profile:
no-solarized

ubuntu profile (output of color-test.sh):
no-solarized_wsl
