ANSI Terminal Colors

I found a great color scheme at this website, but it was only for iTerm — whose settings file doesn’t agree with the standard ~/.Xdefaults files used on other UNIX-like systems.

Using GIMP’s color selector, I was able to figure out each of the 16 colors and port them to urxvt.

InfiniteRed Colors

If you think thats better, here’s my .Xdefaults file:

urxvt*foreground: #f2f2f2
urxvt*background: #101010

! Normal
! color0    black
! color1    red
! color2    green
! color3    yellow
! color4    blue
! color5    purple
! color6    cyan
! color7    white

urxvt*color0:    #6c6c6c
urxvt*color1:    #e9897c
urxvt*color2:    #b6e77d
urxvt*color3:    #ecebbe
urxvt*color4:    #a9cdeb
urxvt*color5:    #ea96eb
urxvt*color6:    #c9caec
urxvt*color7:    #f2f2f2

! Light
! color8    black
! color9    red
! color10    green
! color11    yellow
! color12    blue
! color13    purple
! color14    cyan
! color15    white

urxvt*color8:    #747474
urxvt*color9:    #f99286
urxvt*color10:    #c3f786
urxvt*color11:    #fcfbcc
urxvt*color12:    #b6defb
urxvt*color13:    #fba1fb
urxvt*color14:    #d7d9fc
urxvt*color15:    #e2e2e2

I also turn off the scrollbar with urxvt*scollbar: false and add a border with urxvt*internalborder: 6.

Also, InfiniteRed has a Vim and TextMate color scheme.
