Windows Terminal version

1.17.11461.0

Windows build number

10.0.22621.1928

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open settings.json in VS Code editor (or other editor/tool that supports validation with JSON Scheme)
  2. Change colorScheme to new dark/light format
"colorScheme": {
    "dark": "Campbell",
    "light": "One Half Light"
}
  1. Observe error Incorrect type. Expected "string".

Expected Behavior

Link https://aka.ms/terminal-profiles-schema points to scheme for 1.17 (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/terminal/release-1.17/doc/cascadia/profiles.schema.json)
No validation error.

Actual Behavior

Currently linked scheme links to 1.16 (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/terminal/release-1.16/doc/cascadia/profiles.schema.json)
And therefore new value fails validation
