color settings interfere with prompt style set by the shell

I am trying to configure a cygwin/zsh terminal with the following look https://gist.github.com/3712874
This is a theme (based on solarized dark) for oh-my-zsh (https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh)
that basically customizes the command prompt with some colors and icons to give info
about the status of the current dir regarding git.

As you can see in the screenshot it looks very nice and informative.

In mintty I have been able to get this color working by first applying solarized dark
to mintty, and then oh-my-zsh does it job and applies the colors to the prompt. 

When I try to do the same thing in conemu, so I apply solarized to in the settings.
But the result is not satisfactory. It looks like solarized colors in conemu interfere
with the prompt colors that oh-my-zsh applies, so the promt colors change. See screenshot

If I choose another color for conemu, like xterm, the prompt has the intended colors,
but the rest of the console is not solarized of course, see conemu-xterm-color.png

I am not sure if this is possible at all with conemu, so just letting you know in case
you find it interesting and something can be done.

Can't understand the problem. You are not limited to predefined color schemes. You may
redefine any colors you want.

the problem is:
- I choose solarized colors in settings: ok
- but then the shell uses some colors for the prompt, those colors show in a different
way depending on the colors I have chosen, they clearly interfere with the settings
colors. You can see in xterm colors the prompt is blue and green, and in solarized
is mostly dark greens. Ideally, the solarized one should show a prompt like the xterm
one.

of course, maybe it is not possible to fix this at all...

Ok, you choose Solarized palette and don't like two of colors. Why not to redefine them?
