Change manual page option color

Question

I see the man page options very dark. I use the konsole terminal in Kubuntu. I want to change the colour, how can I do it.

The solution that I've found only works until shutdown. The terminal responds to the first command with: "No such file or directory"

Answer 1

You can change the color of your man page by adding following line in your .bashrc file.

man() {
    env LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\e[1;32m' \
    man "$@"
}

Here LESS_TERMCAP_md is for man bold letter. (man by default uses less to display page.)

Replace the color code \e[1;32m with desired one. you can find these color code here
