Tab Color only shows how to change for session -- no instructions or link to instructions to set Tab Color for a scheme.

[Scribliotech]

Not sure if it's because it's not possible or just missing from the instructions, but I want to set it so that the tab color reflects the kind of terminal session. I assume there is a property I can set in the JSON file, something like tabColor, but I don't see any such option or instructions on how to set that property.

If this is not possible, please add a line of text to this page stating that Tab color can only be changed for a current session.

So, the tabColor can't be set as part of a color scheme, but it can be set as part of a profile. So you can set your Windows PowerShell profile to have something like:

        {
            "guid": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44bf}",
            "name": "Windows PowerShell",
            "background": "#012456",
            "tabColor": "#012456",
        },

And look something like:

That docs page could probably link to the setting. Great suggestion!
