Color-Code Terminals to Avoid Mistakes

What This Does

Give each terminal window or tab a distinct background color so you can instantly tell which one you're working in.

Why It's Useful

Visual safety for important work. When working with production servers or critical systems, color-coding prevents you from running commands in the wrong terminal.

How to Do It

1. Go to Terminal > Settings > Profiles
2. Select a profile or duplicate an existing one
3. Click the "Window" tab
4. Under "Background", choose a color
5. Name the profile (e.g., "Production - Red")
6. Use Shell > New Window to open terminals with different profiles

Try This Now

Create a red profile called "Danger Zone" and a green one called "Safe Zone". Open one of each and notice how easy it is to tell them apart at a glance.
