  • In /sys/module/vt/parameters/default_red I have: 0,170,0,170,0,170,0,170,85,255,85,255,85,255,85,255 In /sys/module/vt/parameters/default_grn I have: 0,0,170,85,0,0,170,170,85,85,255,255,85,85,255,255 I'm not exactly sure what I need to change - what do you mean by index three/fourth slot?

  • By the way I ran the commands you suggested above. The text is still orange/brown. See the following screenshot: picpaste.com/4-30-2013_8-23-37_AM-ODRQImBd.jpg Commented Apr 30, 2013 at 12:25
  • @Brad: Yes, you need to change the fourth (4th) digit to 255 (or any digit higher than what you have now: 170 and 85) for red and green to make it brighter. The first digit has index 0, so the fourth digit has index 3. This is why, when you use this color, you use tput setaf 3 (and not 4). Commented Apr 30, 2013 at 17:33
