Actual Behavior

colors stay as what is defined in the nuclide terminal settings

Why this isn't already built it, who knows :/

Mentioned in facebookarchive/atom-ide-ui#308, but it's fairly simple to script the color selection.

However deriving the colors from syntax theme in a general way is prone to inconsistencies because not every package defines the same colors. Our full list is in https://github.com/facebook-atom/atom-ide-ui/blob/master/modules/atom-ide-ui/pkg/atom-ide-terminal/package.json#L140-L235.

@pelmers what about a tool built in that would import colors from terminal files for some popular terminals?

For example, for people that use iTerm outside of Atom, loading from a *.itermcolors file.
