How do I change the colour scheme on PuTTY?

Solution 1:

In the PuTTY configuration window on the left side (the category section) there is an expandable item called Window and under that item is Colours. That is where color changes can be made.

Solution 2:

Click on the System menu at the upper left corner of the PuTTY window.

  • Select Change Settings > Window > Colours.
  • In the box that says "Select a colour to adjust", choose ANSI Blue and click the Modify Button.
  • Slide the black arrow on the right up until you see a lighter shade of blue that you like.
  • Click OK.
  • Perform the same steps for ANSI Blue Bold so you can have a perceptible difference between the two.
  • When you're finished, click Apply.
