iTerm2 - Where are my colors?

I was badly missing my colors from iTerm console and this is how doldrum they looked in black/white regardless of what color profile I picked...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The boring one...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 After some googling, found these 3 nice little exports that did the trick for me.
Just copy the following exports to your .profile file and voila! Your console comes back to life with beaming colors.. just the way you'd want it to.

export TERM=xterm-color
export CLICOLOR=1
export LSCOLORS=ExFxCxDxBxegedabagacad

The 'not so boring anymore' one...
