Changing OSX Terminal Man Page Colors

For a long time, when I type man anything on my Mac, both the manpage header fonts and the background was black, so I had to use my mouse to highlight the manpage output to read it. It was really annoying.

The problem was the same both locally or using the terminal and going ssh somewhere.

Finally! I fixed it, thanks to this article in MacWorld !!
