The `tabColor` can be set as part of a command line profile. See [Profile - Appearance: Tab color](./profile-appearance.md#tab-color). For example:

```json
{
"guid": "{1234abc-abcd-1234-12ab-1234abc}",
"name": "Windows PowerShell",
"background": "#012456",
"tabColor": "#012456",
},
```

The `tabColor` cannot be set as part of a color scheme. Additionally, while it is possible to [set the tab title from the commandline](./tutorials/tab-title.md) with escape sequences, it currently isn't possible to set the tab color in this way.
