How to change laravel output color on the command line?

composer-php, laravel, laravel-4

Solution

In your case its not a Laravel thing - its a Ubuntu setting.

Try this:

- Open the terminal

- Go to edit-> profile preferences

- Under the color tab, either check or uncheck the "use system colors" option (the opposite of what it is now). Alternatively you can also select another color scheme.

Problem

I am looking for a way to change the output color from laravels CLI tools. The output is really hard to read on a black terminal. I have tried grepping for the color yellow but i fear it might be a hex color. On the other hand it might be a composer setting any help is much appreciated. Example Output: Grep: Extra Info: OS: Ubuntu 12.04 Laravel: 4.1
