Solved vt color

[VladiBG]

I've been struggling for a long time with the default color palette of vt terminal especially in midnight commander. Today i had some free time to look at this and finally i manage to set up the default "dos" color palette from here:

ANSI escape code - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The settings are:

/boot/loader.conf.local

kern.vt.color.0.rgb="0,0,0"
kern.vt.color.1.rgb="128,0,0"
kern.vt.color.2.rgb="0,128,0"
kern.vt.color.3.rgb="128,128,0"
kern.vt.color.4.rgb="0,0,128"
kern.vt.color.5.rgb="128,0,128"
kern.vt.color.6.rgb="0,128,128"
kern.vt.color.7.rgb="192,192,192"
kern.vt.color.8.rgb="128,128,128"
kern.vt.color.9.rgb="255,0,0"
kern.vt.color.10.rgb="0,255,0"
kern.vt.color.11.rgb="255,255,0"
kern.vt.color.12.rgb="0,0,255"
kern.vt.color.13.rgb="255,0,255"
kern.vt.color.14.rgb="0,255,255"
kern.vt.color.15.rgb="255,255,255"

For misc/mc a new page is added to midnight commander site to customize colors, the page was joined few weeks ago, it was an independent github project, now part of official midnight commander site: Color schemes

In vt there are only 16 colors, in DE I use 256 colors. My color scheme in vt is:

kern.vt.color.0.rgb="#000000"         # Black
kern.vt.color.1.rgb="#C00000"         # Red
kern.vt.color.2.rgb="#00A000"         # Green
kern.vt.color.3.rgb="#FF8000"         # Yellow
kern.vt.color.4.rgb="#0040C0"         # Blue
kern.vt.color.5.rgb="#8060FF"         # Magenta
kern.vt.color.6.rgb="#00C0FF"         # Cyan
kern.vt.color.7.rgb="#C0C0C0"         # White
kern.vt.color.8.rgb="#808080"         # Light Black
kern.vt.color.9.rgb="#FF0000"         # Light Red
kern.vt.color.10.rgb="#00DC00"        # Light Green
kern.vt.color.11.rgb="#FFFF40"        # Light Yellow
kern.vt.color.12.rgb="#0080FF"        # Light Blue
kern.vt.color.13.rgb="#C080FF"        # Light Magenta
kern.vt.color.14.rgb="#80DCFF"        # Light Cyan
kern.vt.color.15.rgb="#FFFFFF"        # Light White

in editors (for syntax highlight) I use only 16 colors. I took color scheme from terminal.sexy:

Black                   0   0   0       `#000000`
Blue                    0   64  192     `#0040C0`
Green                   0   160 0       `#00A000`
Cyan                    0   192 255     `#00C0FF`
Red                     192 0   0       `#C00000`
Magenta                 128 96  255     `#8060FF`
