This is the default palette:

    'ERROR':        { 'fg': 'red', 'opts': ('bold',) },
    'NOTICE':       { 'fg': 'red' },
    'SQL_FIELD':    { 'fg': 'green', 'opts': ('bold',) },

Haven’t done it by myself, but here are some links which will help:

Basically, colors are set via DJANGO_COLORS environment variable:

export DJANGO_COLORS="light"

To add a bit more to Pavel’s answer, here is the location of the file that contains the default color settings on a Mac (OSX 10.11 El Capitan). Note: this is for Django 1.9.

The color palette is located in a file called: termcolors.py, which is located in:

/django/utils/

I installed Django in a virtual environment (“venv1”), so for me, the termcolors.py file is located here:

~/.virtualenvs/venv1/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/utils/termcolors.py
