Read unreadable error message in PhpStorm with darcula theme

Question

I have a readability problem in the error messages (symfony) that the PhpStorm terminal sends me. Red background with grey text. Do you have a solution for a better legibility?

I'm use :

• Windows OS
• PhpStorm
• Darcula theme

Answer 1

It's now 2018 but I still had this issue. So for people that might visit this topic the solution that worked for me:

Go to prefereces

• Mac: command + ,
• Linux: ctrl + alt + s

Go to: Editor -> Color Scheme -> Console Colors

Open the list with ANSI Colors

Look for the colors you want to change:

• Red (this is the background color of the error message)
• Gray (the foreground color of the error messages)

I changed the color's to

• Red: #DF0B08
• Gray: #CCCCCC

But that might depend on what you prefer and how it looks on the screen you are using.
