Ubuntu terminal and colors

[Noam Rathaus]

Hi,

I used to use vimdiff quite a lot, but it has become impossible to use with 
Ubuntu's terminal (gnome I presume) color selection.

The colors used by the gnome terminal simply make it impossible to compare 
(too dark, or too light). I tried several profile colors offered, but it aint 
doing it ...

Any suggestions?

(I use Ubuntu GTK/Gnome based, not Kubuntu)

And the terminal I use is the one found under Application->Accessories-
>Terminal
