Created attachment 534372 [details] Screenshot 1 (unreadable yellow "R") When a terminal console is set to have a white background, as is recommended for the health of human eyes, yellow text (used for numbers indicating merge progress and for warnings, according to "man color.map") is nearly unreadable for the human eye on that white background (see screenshot 1). Looks like a workaround for this problem is to have the line yellow = brown in the file /etc/portage/color.map (see screenshot 2) But for a more generic and comfortable solution, I would suggest to offer an additional color map, that is optimized for white(or light) background color. The user should that have the possibility to select that light background color map, maybe through setting a parameter in the file /etc/portage/color.map like background = light An example for the possibility of selecting color scheme for different background color is the editor "vim", where the user can put the line set background=light or set background=dark in the file .vimrc so "vim" sets the colors optimized for the according color of background.
