There is now a Microsoft tool that makes this WAY easier.
https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/tree/master/src/tools/ColorTool

It comes with a 8 themes, or you can get a couple hundred more here:

(Just an FYI for those who read the comments before trying this.)

@lakshits11 The first one listed (default.reg) should reset the colors to default. (If not, you need to provide a bit of an explanation of what you've done.)
