Are you trying to change the colors in a terminal window? Or on the console window that displays system messages?<br />
<br />
Also, what window manager are you using? (KDE, Gnome, etc.)<br />

How can I get the console to display colors (like green on black) rather than that delightfully bland gray on black scheme it's got right now. &nbsp;I know it can do colors in the console (it does when it starts up and says &quot;OK&quot; for everything). &nbsp;I've got RedHat 6.0 if that makes a difference.<br />

oh yeah, if your answer is RTFM, tell me which one. &nbsp;I'll still give you the points
