Comment on How to choose colors for your CLI applications (2023)parent

Comments

Ideally, instead of the CLI app switching to "bright green", it would pick a "bright contrasting green". So if the terminal background was dark, it would pick bright green, and for light background it would pick a darker green. There isn't CLI app implementations for this? This is similar to how you'd implement dark mode in a web app.

The responsibility for this lies with the color scheme not the terminal program.
