Assuming I'm reading the request right, this part specifically is about adjusting the coloring in the terminal; making the commands which are input a different color than the output. For that case, while you can't do it from a setting at the terminal level, you can do it in bash¹ by setting PS1 to set the color of the prompt and input, then calling tput to reset the color for the output via a trap call. Details: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bash/Prompt_customization#Escapes_between_command_input_and_output So you'd set the default color for the terminal to the color you wanted for output and then the PS1 variable would set the color(s) for the prompt and input. There's a lot of possibilities there. It's surely not done in quite the way you asked for it, Beartooth, but I think the end result you're looking for can be achieved. ¹ I don't know about other shells, but it wouldn't surprise in the slightest if other shells could do something similar. I'd be hard pressed to bet against zsh lacking such support. -- Todd
