Change font color on linux terminal

terminal

i want to change the font color of everything i write in the linux terminals (eg the one accessible at ctrl+alt+f1) to green. my default tty font color is white, but i would like it to be green. i have tried

setterm -term linux -foreground green -clear

but this just changes the color of the cursor. i want to change the color of the font – so that it looks the same as the following xterm configuration:

xterm -foreground green

Best Answer

just needed to include the -store setting. the following does the trick perfectly:

setterm -foreground green -store
