Use ``vtcol colors`` to manipulate the console palette.
-**vtcol** knows two ways of loading a color scheme: From a set of predefined
-palettes or by loading it from a definition file. The latter accepts input in
-the format supported by setcolors_. (Not much effort has been put into ensuring
-compliance so YMMV.) Check the subdirectory ``./schemes`` in the **vtcol** tree
-for examples of definition files.

+**vtcol** loads color schemes from various source: From a set of predefined

+Four color schemes are predefined:
* ``default`` the default color scheme of the Linux console.
* ``solarized`` the Solarized_ color scheme, dark version.
* ``solarized_light`` the Solarized_ color scheme, light version.
+ * ``phosphor`` monochrome green text on black background.
Invoke **vtcol** with the ``set`` command specifying the scheme of your
choice: ::
$ vtcol colors set solarized_light
+Or for a more 80s look’n’feel: ::
+
+ $ vtcol colors set phosphor
+
+.. image:: ./doc/img/phosphor.png

In order to view the available schemes, use the ``list`` command. Should the
scheme specified not resolve to one of the predefined ones, **vtcol** will fall
back on interpreting the name as that of a file. Likewise, loading a scheme
