OSX Terminal colors

The OSX Terminal application can support font/highlighting colors when connecting to a remote system that supports this. However depending on your choice of Terminal's background color some of the colors can be difficult to read.

For example, I tend to prefer Terminal's "Pro" color scheme, where the background is black. But when I log into a linux box, some of the text colors are difficult to read against the black background.

I looked for a way to adjust the font colors used, but found a much simpler way to adjust this. Turns out there is an option in Terminal's Preferences titled "Use bright colors for bold text". This option can be found under Terminal -> Preferences -> Settings -> Text.

Enabling this option has yielded the text much easier to read.
