+## Gnome Terminal
 
-### Xresources
+For gnome terminal, the instructions are a tad bit complicated since
+configuration is done via dconf.
+
+First, launch a new instance of Gnome Terminal and then go to Preferences ->
+Profiles and click Edit on the default profile being used. Copy the "Profile ID"
+from that window. Open a new Terminal and set a local variable like so:
+
+    profile_id=<profile_id_here>
+
+In the same terminal window, run a set of dconf write commands to set the colors:
+
+    dconf write /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:$profile_id/visible-name "'Spacegray'"
+    dconf write /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:$profile_id/background-color "'rgb(17,19,20)'"
+    dconf write /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:$profile_id/foreground-color "'rgb(183,187,183)'"
+    dconf write /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:$profile_id/use-theme-colors "false"
+    dconf write /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:$profile_id/use-theme-transparency "false"
+    dconf write /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:$profile_id/palette "['rgb(44,47,51)', 'rgb(176,76,80)', 'rgb(145,150,82)', 'rgb(226,153,92)', 'rgb(102,137,157)', 'rgb(141,100,148)', 'rgb(82,124,119)', 'rgb(96,99,96)', 'rgb(75,80,86)', 'rgb(176,76,80)', 'rgb(148,152,91)', 'rgb(226,153,92)', 'rgb(102,137,157)', 'rgb(141,100,148)', 'rgb(82,124,119)', 'rgb(221,227,220)']"
+
+The terminal should then reflect Spacegray's colors.
