In VIM one can easily change colours with ":set backgorund=dark". This doesn't actually change the background, but rather uses a colour scheme that is designed for a dark background. Is there any quick command like this for bash? I don't want to edit the whole config file if there is a quick way to get a better colour scheme.
Thanks.
No, there is not such option in bash.
There are some terminal applications that allow to change the colourscheme though (like konsole)
In a konsole terminal window look under Settings->Schema for some preset colour schemes. Also take a look under Settings->Configure Konsole->Schema for more advanced options :)
Personally I like white text on a black background.

The best colourscheme for the eyes is a dark background with an even darker text color.
And the worst would be dark background with light color for the text (although many "geeks" use that combination...)
