                  The terminal emulation can only use 16 colors at a time to draw text. The color palette specifies these 16 colors. Applications that run in the terminal use an index number to specify a color from this palette.</p>
      <p>Use the <gui style="guilabel">Built-in schemes</gui> drop-down list to choose a preset color schemes. The color palette below and the contents of the terminal window both update to show the scheme.</p>

To customize a color, click on the color to display the <gui style="guilabel">Palette entry</gui> dialog. Use the color wheel or the spin boxes to customize the color, then click <gui style="guibutton">OK</gui>.
