color settings interfere with prompt style set by the shell

OS version: Win7 SP1 x64
ConEmu version: ConEmuPack.121020

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 conemu-solarized-color.png
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?
