Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)

Platform ServicePack Version      VersionString
-------- ----------- -------      -------------
Win32NT             10.0.17666.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.17666.0

I don't run command prompt because it's not Windows NT 4.

What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy & paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)

Using https://github.com/Microsoft/console/releases/download/1708.14008/colortool.zip

 ./colortool -b solarized_dark

The '..' in 'cd..' is close to invisible. If you look very closely above, you can see there's two dark blue dots on the dark green background, but you wouldn't see them otherwise.

What's wrong / what should be happening instead:

The blue should be a little lighter than the background.
