Description Mike Smith 2009-05-16 12:19:00 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The Tango profile's black is not black, but dark gray. This looks ugly when the background color is set to black over a black terminal window.

Steps to reproduce:
Run a program that explicitly sets the background color to black while using the Tango palette.
Example: echo -e '\e[37;40mtest\e[0m'

Actual results:

Expected results:
Text on a black background.

Does this happen every time?
Only when the background is explicitly set to black by the application.

Committed; thanks!

Unfortunately due to how the profile colours work, you have to re-set the schema to "Tango" in the profile prefs in order to get the right colour.

FYI: This got reverted now and a different solution was found for the original problem ("This looks ugly when the background color is set to black over a black terminal window"). See bug 774619 for details and rationale.
