I am applying to this issue via OnlyDust platform.

My background and how it can be leveraged

I'm a Web and Systems Software Engineer, with experience building TUI applications in Rust, GoLang (ratatui, clap, bubbletea and termui).

How I plan on tackling this issue

• Get the Desired color scheme to be implemented from the maintainers, preferrably included in the Xterm_256 color chart, has a AnsiColor implementation already or proceed with the current stellar brand colors.
• Create a Custom style scheme preset using the provided color scheme by the maintainers.
• Implement the preset styles by providing the styles attribute to the command interface.

Hi @janewang @leighmcculloch @Ifropc Please can you confirm you're satisfied with the current color theme or if there's a specified color theme you'd prefer?

[leighmcculloch]

@janewang I pushed a tweak to the PR to change the colors to match the same colours that cargo uses.

Two motivations for this:

• @Ifropc suggested colours like cargo in the original issue comment
• Devs often will use cargo and soroban-cli side-by-side, so the fact they look the same and have the same appearance may be helpful

Alternatively, @janewang maybe there is value in getting the design team's input, and maybe we should be using "Stellar" colors?

[Ifropc]

Agree that in the future we may want to re-visit it to use "Stellar" colors ^
