VSCode: Integrated terminal selected lines not highlighted - terminal

In the integrated terminal of VSCode even though I have selected the line print -c "print('Hello World')" as shown in the above screenshot, it doesn't gets highlighted like blue color in my iTerm2 terminal as illustrated in the screenshot below
Any ideas what settings should I change to achieve the same?

Use this colorCustomization in your settings.json:
{
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"terminal.selectionBackground": "#f00"
}
}

Spyder Editor does not show the right colour text - how do I correct this?

In Spyder, I have gone into preferences and changed the syntax colour scheme to Monokai. Originally, this updated both the Editor and Console as intended.
After not using Spyder for a few days, now only the Console shows the correct colour scheme. The Editor is black, but all code is grey. This is a nuisance.
I've tried changing the scheme to another scheme. E.g. back to Spyder's default scheme. The Editor background changes to white, but all code is black. The console shows the right colours.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

(Spyder maintainer here) If you're not seeing syntax highlighting in the Editor is because your file doesn't end with the .py extension.

Alternatively you can open command palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P in windows/ubuntu or CMD+Shift+P on mac and type color. Select preferences: color theme from the options, to select your favourite color.
You can also install more themes from the extensions menu on the left bar. just search category:themes to install your favourite themes. (If you need to sort the themes by installs search category:themes #sort:installs)
Edit - for manually editing colors in terminal
VSCode team have removed customizing colors from user settings page. Currently using the themes is the only way to customize terminal colors in VSCode. For more information check out issue #6766
Add workbench.colorCustomizations to user settings
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"terminal.background":"#FEFBEC",
"terminal.foreground":"#6E6B5E",
...
}
Check https://glitchbone.github.io/vscode-base16-term for some presets.
The best colors I've found --which aside from being so beautiful, are very easy to look at too and do not boil my eyes-- are the ones I've found listed in this GitHub repository: VSCode Snazzy
Very Easy Installation:
Copy the contents of snazzy.json into your VS Code "settings.json" file.
(In case you don't know how to open the "settings.json" file, first hit Ctrl+Shift+P and then write Preferences: open settings(JSON) and hit enter).
_Notice:_ For those who have tried ColorTool and it works outside VSCode but not inside VSCode, you've made no mistakes in implementing it, that's just a decision of VSCode developers for the VSCode's terminal to be colored independently.
Go to the settings of VSCode
On Windows/Linux - File > Preferences > Settings or Shortcut(ctrl,)
On macOS - Code > Preferences > Settings or Shortcut (⌘,) or Search (⇧⌘P) → “Preferences: Open Settings”
Search for "workbench: color customizations" and open the settings.json file
You can see workbench.colorCustomizations as empty if you are editing it for the first time,
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
}
Edit or Paste your configuration under workbench.colorCustomizations
Fill it with your customized options,
I sharing Isotope theme here
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"terminal.background":"#000000",
"terminal.foreground":"#D0D0D0",
"terminalCursor.background":"#D0D0D0",
"terminalCursor.foreground":"#D0D0D0",

Gulp output on Windows CMD is unreadable

I have recently started using gulp with windows cmd (also tried using powershell), and the output is colored in such a way that no matter what the background color, some words will never be visible (some things are highlighted with a dark color, others are highlighted with a light color).
I have searched all over the web but to my suprise didn't find anyone having the same problem.
Here's an example of what it looks like:
Open a Command Prompt, click the icon (top-left), select Properties.
Choose Colors, and save the color
