Get rid of all the colors in PuTTY that are not viewable – this happens to me on some Linux systems – for example dark blue against black is hardly visible

Goto -> Change Settings -> Colours

and UNCHECK the 1st three boxes under COLOURS referring to

  • Allow terminal to specify ANSI colours
  • Allow terminal to use xterm 256-colour mode
  • Allow terminal to use 24-bit colours

Hope this helps…
