How can it detect termin background color?

This is the function they are using to detect the background color:

(There’s a different version of it for Windows.)

The windows one just returns default black, which is correct in most cases since very few change it to something else.

This is not entirely true: Windows Powershell defaulted to a blue background. Though this is admittedly an edge case, as Windows Powershell is now deprecated in favour of Powershell Core (which has a black background) IIRC.
