I want to change the color of the shell window from a running python script on a Mac.

I tried

>>> os.system('color 1f')

and

>>> os.system('setterm -background white -foreground white -store')

but neither works.

(I am NOT tring to change background color of pieces of text; I want to change the entire background.)

Regarding all the suggested duplicates, I'm not looking for an AppleScript solution. I need to do this from python, for the current Terminal window that is running the given python process.

Neither of those commands are installed on my Mac. Do they work for you on the command line? – tripleee Nov 18 '18 at 13:29
No, they do not. – Dan Nov 18 '18 at 15:03
you can try changing the theme, although I don't know how to do that from terminal. – Natsfan Nov 19 '18 at 00:56
