https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/tree/main/src/tools/ColorTool documents a --terminal flag (and others) that are not present in the most recent binary ColorTool.exe release from GitHub:

Usage:
    colortool.exe [options] <schemename>
ColorTool is a utility for helping to set the color palette of the Windows Console.
By default, applies the colors in the specified .itermcolors, .json or .ini file to the current console window.
This does NOT save the properties automatically. For that, you'll need to open the properties sheet and hit "Ok".
Included should be a `schemes/` directory with a selection of schemes of both formats for examples.
Feel free to add your own preferred scheme to that directory.
Arguments:
    <schemename>: The name of a color scheme. ct will try to first load it as an .ini file color scheme
                  If that fails, it will look for it as a .json file color scheme
                  If that fails, it will look for it as an .itermcolors file color scheme.
Options:
    -?, --help     : Display this help message
    -c, --current  : Print the color table for the currently applied scheme
    -q, --quiet    : Don't print the color table after applying
    -e, --errors   : Report scheme parsing errors on the console
    -d, --defaults : Apply the scheme to only the defaults in the registry
    -b, --both     : Apply the scheme to both the current console and the defaults.
    -x, --xterm    : Set the colors using VT sequences. Used for setting the colors in WSL.
                     Only works in Windows versions >= 17048.
    -s, --schemes  : Displays all available schemes
    -l, --location : Displays the full path to the schemes directory
    -v, --version  : Display the version number
    -o, --output <filename> : output the current color table to an file (in .ini format)

Available importers:
  INI File Parser
  concfg Parser
  iTerm Parser
