It seems .Xdefaults is not part of the solution.
here's my sakura .config/sakura/sakura.conf:

Code:

colorset1_fore=rgb(192,192,192)
colorset1_back=rgba(0,0,0,1)
colorset1_key=F1
colorset2_fore=rgb(192,192,192)
colorset2_back=rgba(0,0,0,1)
colorset2_key=F2
colorset3_fore=rgb(192,192,192)
colorset3_back=rgba(0,0,0,1)
colorset3_key=F3
colorset4_fore=rgb(192,192,192)
colorset4_back=rgba(0,0,0,1)
colorset4_key=F4
colorset5_fore=rgb(192,192,192)
colorset5_back=rgba(0,0,0,1)
colorset5_key=F5
colorset6_fore=rgb(192,192,192)
colorset6_back=rgba(0,0,0,1)

Code:

forecolor=#00FFFF

Where exactly do you find the sakura.conf file? I've been wanting to edit my console a bit and this is honestly the only reliable forum post I've found so far.

Though this thread is very old and the last post from last year, it's where a web search brought me, so I'll answer it, now that I've found the solution.
There should be a $HOME/.config/sakura/sakura.conf file. However right clicking on a sakura terminal gives you a menu which includes options. If you go into that, you can set the color. In the color menu, you will see colorset with a number. You can, for example, select colorset 1 to be black with white text, which is the default. Then, say, colorset 2 to be black with green text. And other colorsets if you like. If you change colorset 1, that will be the default.
Now, when you have sakura open, say you're using colorset one, white on black. Hit shift+ctl+F2 and it will change to your colorset 2, green text on black. Like lots of things, simple, once you learn how to do it.
