You can quite easily make your own themes, just by adding a new entry in the schemes section of the settings file (see the settings documentation for more details).

I don't know what the official Ubuntu Ambiance colors are, but below is an example of a purple Ubuntu color scheme, which I copied from the iterm theme here: https://iterm2colorschemes.com/

{
    "name": "Ubuntu",
    "foreground": "#EEEEEC",
    "background": "#300A24",
    "black": "#2E3436",
    "blue": "#3465A4",
    "green": "#4E9A06",
    "cyan": "#06989A",
    "red": "#CC0000",
    "purple": "#75507B",
    "yellow": "#C4A000",
    "white": "#D3D7CF",
    "brightBlack": "#555753",
    "brightBlue": "#729FCF",
    "brightGreen": "#8AE234",
    "brightCyan": "#34E2E2",
    "brightRed": "#EF2929",
    "brightPurple": "#AD7FA8",
    "brightYellow": "#FCE94F",
    "brightWhite": "#EEEEEC"
}

Thanks for the quick response, I've already added this theme to my terminal. Just thought it would be good if the terminal shipped with it by default for the Ubuntu WSL extension.
Thanks again!
