Use dconf-editor! Navigate to org.elementary.PantheonTerminal.Settings, and change the palette option. It takes a string of sixteen hex codes separated by colons. They are in the following order:

BLACK
RED
GREEN
YELLOW
BLUE
MAGENTA
CYAN
BRIGHT_GRAY
GRAY
BRIGHT_RED
BRIGHT_GREEN
BRIGHT_YELLOW
BRIGHT_BLUE
BRIGHT_MAGENTA
BRIGHT_CYAN
WHITE

An example color scheme would be this one, which is the railscast theme for pantheon terminal:
#000000:#d75f5f:#87af5f:#d7af87:#8787af:#bd53a5:#5fafaf:#cfcfcf:#6f6f6f:#e33636:#98e34d:#ffd75f:#7373c9:#d633b2:#44C9C9:#ffffff

Note: The location of the settings has changed. It is now in org.pantheon.terminal.settings instead.
