Have you tried this out in recent Windows releases? We added 24-bit color support [1] to the console in Sep 2016, and built a colortool (that supports solarized) this summer [2]. Most of this should work, and we're all ears for things that don't.

Does it support setting colors via escape sequence from the shell? because that's the whole point.

  • Ah, no, I don't believe so - colortool calls into kernel 32.dll to set the colors it looks like, so they're system wide. The github project linked in the second blog post would be a good spot to put a bug/feature request in though.
