How do I change color of terminal prompt in Visual studio code?

Question

My current terminal has white prompt and white output like this one https://vscode.one/img/terminal-font-size/terminal-font-size.gif
I Saw this thread about changing terminal color Color theme for VS Code integrated terminal

Foreground changes the color of entire text, but I just want to see color different between the path and output. Similar to this one

The output is white and the path is other color.

Are you using a git bash terminal? This is what the default colors of the git bash terminal are. — Timothy G., Dec 30 '21 at 14:34
For bash and zsh you can customize the prompt text which will carry over into vscode here is a video https://youtu.be/p4h-5B8k2NY — Adam, Jun 28 '22 at 18:50

Paste the JSON settings below to change basic colors

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
   "terminal.background": "#2C3E50",
   "terminal.foreground": "#E0E0E0",
 }

For a higher level of colour customizations, you can use this Terminal Colors Generator. It will create JSON with all colours you selected and just paste it into your settings JSON.
