Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/6489

State: closed
Merged: No

Summary of the Pull Request

Based on the discussion in #2638 until the Delta E 2000 contrast algo is
implemented in Terminal, it would be great to have a Solarized Dark
color scheme that does actually have enough contrast to be realistically
used for powershell.

This color scheme is based on "Solarized (John Doe)" from ConEmu and
modified to have a more visible DarkBlue as also discussed in #2638

Note I didn't test if it runs after the change as I don't have enough tooling
installed anymore.

Also I didn't discuss it with the core members, it's just a starting point for
the discussion around suboptimal experience with Solarized Dark.
