--color
You can partially or completely customize the default color configuration of fzf with --color
option.
# --color=[BASE_SCHEME][,COLOR:ANSI]
fzf --color=bg+:24
fzf --color=light,fg:232,bg:255,bg+:116,info:27
The name of the base color scheme is followed by custom color mappings. ANSI color code of -1 denotes terminal default foreground/background color.
The color specification can be quite long if fully customized, so it's advised that you put it in $FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS
. You can also split it into multiple --color
s like follows:
export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='
--color fg:124,bg:16,hl:202,fg+:214,bg+:52,hl+:231
--color info:52,prompt:196,spinner:208,pointer:196,marker:208

Alternate Solarized Light/Dark Theme
This one is easier to read (in my opinion) because the selected row contrasts less with the text.
