Putty Monokai Color Scheme manually


I would like to use the Monokai color scheme in PuTTY. However, I don't have administrator privileges so I cant use the reg file to import the scheme. The only way I can is manually change the colors at Change Settings > Window > Colors. this color I'm looking for a correspondence table with in RGB colors and PuTTY color names as bellow:

  • Default Foreground
  • Default Bold Foreground
  • Default Background
  • Default Bold Background
  • Cursor Text
  • Cursor Colour
  • ANSI Black
  • ANSI Black Bold
  • ANSI Red
  • ANSI Red Bold
  • ANSI Green
  • ANSI Green Bold
  • ANSI Yellow
  • ANSI Yellow Bold
  • ANSI Blue
  • ANSI Blue Bold
  • ANSI Magenta
  • ANSI Magenta Bold
  • ANSI Cyan
  • ANSI Cyan Bold
  • ANSI White
  • ANSI White Bold
