Change your .bashrc file in your home folder.

EX: Replace the line start by LS_COLORS by this:

1. Start your WSL shell (for me that is ubuntu.exe)


2. Right-click title bar and select "Properties"


3. Pretty dumb dialog appears where you have to follow these steps
   
   
   
   
   • select "Screen Text" and note which color box got highlighted
   
   
   • select 10th color box where the dark blue color is
   
   
   • set rgb values to 59,120,255 (or your favorite blue)
   
   
   • select the color box noted in the first step
   
   
   • press OK
   
   
   
   

That will change the color in the console palette (used for example to highlight the cwd in the PS1 prompt). However the vim screenshot you provided uses the dark blue color directly and not trough the palette. To change colors in vim see https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/88879/better-colors-so-comments-arent-dark-blue-in-vim.

   • select the color box noted in the first step
   
   
   • press OK
   
   
   
   

That will change the color in the console palette (used for example to highlight the cwd in the PS1 prompt). However the vim screenshot you provided uses the dark blue color directly and not trough the palette. To change colors in vim see https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/88879/better-colors-so-comments-arent-dark-blue-in-vim.
