Windows 10: Bash terminal like iTerm2?

Hi all -- this may be a loaded question, so I apologize in advance for sounding ignorant, but I have looked into this off and on for the past few months and have finally decided to post the question here. The story is this:
I do a bit of computer programming for work, primarily just writing and running python scripts for data processing.

I used to have a Mac and used iTerm2 to get around on the command line. iTerm2 was just a suggestion by the person who taught me how to use the command line in the first place, so I didn't have any real attachment for it/reason to use it apart from that. It was fairly easy to change the color scheme on iTerm2, which I did every now and then and it just made me feel good/more comfortable when I could switch the colors after a while. I did not have to design the color schemes but could rather easily find them online and install to change things up if I so chose.
I switched to a Windows computer in Jaunary and have been pretty happy with it. For the command line, I have been using Git Bash. This is something I use because my advisor uses it. I use git quite often for version control. Git Bash works fine for the most part, but what I noticed is I really do not seem to be able to easily change colors here the way I did on iTerm2.

So my question is this: is there another terminal for Windows that is similar to Git Bash (i.e., let me use git and bash...sorry if that is a stupid question) where I could easily install different color schemes? And a similar question for previous/current Mac users: which terminal do you use on Windows?

I have seen lots of terminal customization posts, and it all looks very cool but a bit more than what I am looking for... I am not looking for anything super fancy, I basically just want to change the colors!

Have you tried the steps listed here? Scroll down to "Run native Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" (you can ignore the fact that it's for an Insider Preview build; the steps are the same).
