Please use /usr/bin/dnf -- help It could be a DNF plugin command, try: "dnf install 'dnf- command(color_list_available_install)'" I've chewed and chewed on the above and several variant interpretations of it -- and I'm lost. Maybe I should say that my expressions like "soft blue" are my descriptions of what I actually do from Mate-terminal --> Edit --> Profiles then click on Default, then Edit, then Colors, then Custom, then one of the colors. Say I start with Text color. Then I click on a colored box, then on +. That gives me a window with a slider, which I can drag vertically to get, say in two dimensions till it looks purple. Then I get a purple window with two white lines; I drag the intersection in two dimensions till the little window in that box looks the way I want. Then I click Select, and the text on my open tab turns the color I had moved the cursor to. I repeat the above for background, then, over and over, for each of the other six profiles.
