My terminal went black, cannot see any text, how to reset its color?

Question

I know many people have asked for changing terminal's font color and I followed many methods, but they didn't work. I think my problem is quite serious...

This is how it looks like:

A few months ago, I have installed a theme pack (I think from here www.noobslab.com/2014/04/macbuntu-1404-pack-is-released.html). Then recently I removed it. My folders icons looks a bit strange but the terminal still looks fine.

Things happened when today I tried to reset all display setting with a hope that everything would come back.. I saw this thread and followed the best answer. And then my terminal become all black...

I have tried solutions in these questions:

How do I restore .bashrc to its default?

How do I reset the colors of my terminal?

but they didn't work in my case.

Please help.. Thank you so much!

Fair enough. Be sure to state what you have tried next time so that we don't go in circles. — edwinksl, Jul 12 '16 at 04:31

Oh, how stupid I was... It's easier than I think.

I just go to setting -> appearance. And choose theme Ambiance (default) then everything's back.
