How to tweak

If the color settings provided are not quite what you want, feel free to mix-and-match whatever colors you can think of.

Download the appropriate colorscheme based on how to you wish you install it
Open the file and find the ANSI Color you wish to overwrite and replace it with the corresponding RGB color (e.g. 255,0,0 for red) or HEX Triplet (e.g. #FF0000 for red) for flat-minttyrc and flat-mintty respectively.
Install using the instructions above, but point the source file to your custom file

Troubleshoot

Q: The colors don't seem to be applied or rendered correctly even after restarting mintty...

A: There's a good change your terminal isn't set to the proper color setting. In mintty, go to Options > Terminal > Type and select xterm-256color. It's also a good idea to set it within the terminal by adding the following line to your .bashrc, .profile, etc.

    export TERM=xterm-256color

Q: I applied the colors using flat-mintty, but decided to go back to the default colors.

A: I haven't tested this, but in case deleting the script and restarting mintty doesn't revert the terminal back to the default colorscheme, you can download the default-mintty script provided and source it to revert back to normal.
