  • macos-terminal-themes

    Color schemes for default macOS Terminal.app

  • If you want to reverse the colors so the text is white with a black background (like in a lot of Linux distros) you can press cmd , to open the preferences then select I believe it is called the pro theme and then click on make default. I use the Homebrew theme which is green on black (because it reminds me of my first Linux computer (a raspi 3b)). Though GitHub has a ton of color schemes https://github.com/lysyi3m/macos-terminal-themes I believe you just open the file and it installs to terminal and you can enable it be same way I said earlier.
