ZOC Terminal is a professional SSH Client and Terminal Emulator for Windows and macOS.
ZOC Online Help Topic:

Session Profiles → Colors

This window is used to select and configure the color settings of a ZOC Terminal session.

Color settings are organized into two tiers:

Color Selection: Most colors are selected from a predefined palette. For instance, you can choose to display marked text in orange from the active palette.

Palette Customization: The actual color value used depends on the chosen palette. To fine-tune the colors, you will need to edit an existing palette or create a new one.

 

Note: If you are using TN3270 emulation, be aware that its color handling differs significantly from most other emulations. Consequently, TN3270 provides an additional color configuration option. You can access this through Session Profile→Emulation→TN3270. This option utilizes some colors from the standard configuration window and also uses the color palettes defined here.

 

 

COLOR SETTINGS

       
Colors
 

Here you can choose from a predefined palette of colors for the fore and background and for rendering characters with specific attributes, e.g. you can display characters in yellow when the host wants to display them underlined. Depending on the terminal emulation, the remote host can change the display colors to highlight text.

ZOC's default is black text on white background. If you encounter odd color effects with your host, please try the classic gray text on black background.

The colors of the first 16 entries in each palette are industry standard, although their individual shades may vary slightly. These colors should be changed with caution. If you still wish to modify them, you can use the Edit Color Palette button to assign new colors to each entry. When a remote host requests one of the base colors (e.g., "green"), ZOC will use the color you defined in the global table.

TN3270/5250 Note: The 3270 and 5250 emulations technically require complete color sets. Hence the foreground and background colors will be ignored. Instead ZOC offers a selection of color schemes (combinations of some of the 16 base colors) for these 3270/5250 emulations. These can be selected in Session Profile→Emulation. Modification of the global color table (see above) will affect the colors in these schemes.

Palettes
 

IIn this section, you can select from various color palettes for the base colors. While most palettes are based on the same set of colors, they have slight variations in hues for colors like light blue, light red, green, etc.. You may prefer to choose a palette that you are accustomed to. Additionally, there are palettes such as Solarized that are not based on the typical 16 ANSI colors but on a different color system.
