By default the text color on the Mac Terminal is white and the background is black. If you want to set a different color to the text, follow the below steps (or watch the video above)
- Open Terminal,
- From Terminal Menu select Setting (as on macOS Ventura or later),
- Now move to the Profiles tab,
- Click on the color box (next to Antialias text)
- Choose the color you want to set from the palette.
- Close Settings window.
- You now have a new color set to terminal text.
