colors.txt

The colors.txt file defines the color scheme used by DF, in standard RGB color code. The default settings can be found at data/init/colors.txt and and can be changed by manually placing your own file at prefs/colors.txt^v52.02; the location of the prefs folder depends on the portable mode setting (there is also a data folder there, but data/init/colors.txt will always be in the game installation folder). Changes made to these files take effect the next time Dwarf Fortress is run, and apply to all worlds. Files in both data/init/ and prefs/ are read when Dwarf Fortress starts, in that order, with the last value read for an option being used.
