+To change your colorscheme, press Ctrl-E in micro to bring up the command
+prompt, and type:

+set colorscheme solarized
+```
+(or whichever colorscheme you choose).
-* `simple`: this is the simplest colorscheme. It uses 16 colors which are set by
- your terminal
-* `solarized`: this is the solarized colorscheme. You should have the solarized
- color palette in your terminal to use it.
-* `cmc-16`: A very nice 16-color theme. Written by contributor CaptainMcClellan

-* `cmc-paper`: Basically cmc-16, but on a white background. (Actually light grey
- on most ANSI (16-color) terminals)
