Can't change colour of text under headers

[mans0954]

Consider the following markdown:

Before heading - this text looks fine on a white background.

# Heading 1

Here is some text - looks too pale on a white background

## Heading 2

Here is some more text - also looks too pale on a white background

Here is how it displays in Terminator on Ubuntu 18.04:

I would like to make the text under the headings darker, but cannot figure out which setting I need to change to do this. What HTML element do they correspond to?

Thanks.

What is your default foreground color in the terminal? Ideally it would be picking that up, though I'm unsure why the text before the first heading is being treated differently than text after...

@ttscoff - I was using the Black on white Built-in scheme with Use colours from system theme selected and the Ambiance palette scheme. I experimented with changing the palette and found the text under the headings looked better with the Gruvbox light palette scheme. I then created a custom palette and found that the colour in the top right of the palette (see screenshot) controlled the colour of the text under the headings.

Does that help you identify why the text under headings was in a different colour from the top line text?

Thanks for your help.

Maybe. That first row should be the "bright" versions of the 8 colors, so it's possible that an escape code isn't getting cleared after the headlines. I'll take a look at that.

Thanks. Did you find anything?

Haven't had much time to look at it in depth, but I'm not seeing the issue happen on my end with the latest version.
