Sorry, if this is a stupid question.  I'm trying to change my iTerm2 color scheme per https://iterm2colorschemes.com.  The instructions say to 
  • Launch iTerm 2. Get the latest version at iterm2.com
  • Type CMD+i
  • Navigate to Colors tab
  • Click on Load Presets
  • Click on Import
  • Select the .itermcolors file(s) of the scheme(s) you'd like to use
  • Click on Load Presets and choose a color scheme
but after doing the command+I and navigating to the Colors tab, I do not see anywhere to click for "Load Presets".  I tried selecting the "Color Presets" in the dropdown menu on the lower right, then click on Imports and when I navigate to the iterm-dynamic-colors directory, all of the files are grayed out and I can not seem to import any of them.

This doesn't directly answer your question, but if you cd into .iTerm2-Color-Schemes/iterm-dynamic-colors
It is full of shell scripts to set the specified color profile.

Thanks.  Got it working.  If I navigate to the the mbadolato-iTerm2-Color-Schemes-e030599/schemes folder and click on any of the schemes (i.e., Dracula.itermcolors), the theme is imported into iTerm2.

Those instructions are a bit out of date. I don’t run that site so I can’t change it. The setting is here, and is called “Import”:
