The official docs are great for defining the "what". But as to how to set a different scheme for each profile, I 'm totally lost?

Well I tried these to no avail 😓
settings.json 

{
                "guid": "{574e775e-4f2a-5b96-ac1e-a2962a402336}",
                "hidden": false,
                "name": "PowerShell",
                "source": "Windows.Terminal.PowershellCore",
                "colorScheme": "Campbell"
            },

or default.json 

"profiles":
    [
