Description

I tried micro on win7/powershell 5 and loved it it was awesome everything was super excelent, the only thing I was expecting more was the colorshemes. I understand the windows.h api limits a lot the colors that you can use in console mode but the problem is that most of the colorshemes don't have the necessary contrast to being funtional.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the color-scheme behavior in micro on Windows 7 with PowerShell 5, then inspect the terminal color-scheme handling. Compare the available schemes for readable contrast in console mode; done means the schemes remain functional and legible within the Windows console limitations.
