I'm having a hard time reproing any bug here. If you change the brightYellow property of the powershell profile's color scheme, it definitely updates for me:

Here I've changed brightYellow from it's default value of #f9f1a5 to #ff00ff, and you can see it's updated in the powershell tab.

The problem is why does "brightYellow" and not simply "Yellow" change [ConsoleColor]::Yellow ?

Is this because [ConsoleColor]::DarkYellow is mean to be changed by "Yellow" and
[ConsoleColor]::Yellow is mean to be changed by "BrightYellow" ?

There's some discussion around color names in #2641. To match more closely with ANSI ECMA-48 standard color names, we're departing from the ConsoleColor enum.

@DHowett which ENUM do you reccomend then when coloring items in powershell and psreadline ?

@DHowett-MSFT commented on GitHub (Oct 25, 2019):

For PowerShell Core (or anything else consuming PSReadline 2), you should prefer to use escape sequences to set your colors -- it's better-supported than ConsoleColor everywhere.

Set-PSReadLineOption -Colors @{
    "Command" = "`e[93m"
}

Write-Host "`e[96mSup`e[m"

Ok regardless the names are super confusing, since they don't correspond to the names here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code

I mean, apart from purple/magenta the Windows Terminal settings do correspond to those names? That's called out in https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/2641#issuecomment-527247390.

ConsoleColor cannot be changed. It was created for a different, Windows-only, world. We're not in that world any longer.

Let's continue the discussion in /dup #2641.
