Powerlevel9k was a tool for building a beautiful and highly functional CLI, customized for you. P9k had a substantial impact on CLI UX, and its legacy is now continued by P10k.
The documentation for "Segment Color Customization" gives the example:
POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_FOREGROUND='021' # Dark blue
However, this didn't work. This old changelog suggests that it is no longer used. I also had a similar experience with POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_BACKGROUND.
Have you tried to debug or fix it?
Yes, using the "advanced" POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_{CLEAN,UNTRACKED,MODIFIED}_{FORE,BACK}GROUND worked instead. FWIW I found the wording in the documentation confusing:
# Advanced `vcs` color customization
It implies there is a "basic" version as well, which appears to be deprecated as above.
