The tools are already here. Just open dconf-editor and you can easily
change the palette scheme of the terminal.

*Right now*, we want to focus on making pantheon-terminal ready so that we
can release Luna. The Gnome Terminal scheme is pretty good and our
designers don't really have the time to work on a brand new color scheme.
Voldyman suggested we use Tango. Tango looks good.

Also, I think we're overestimating the importance of the terminal color
scheme...
