It depends on your settings. In my GitHub - N0rbert/umpis: Ubuntu MATE post-install script script I did this as shown below:

cat <<EOF > /tmp/dconf-mate-terminal
[keybindings]
help='disabled'
[profiles/default]
allow-bold=false
background-color='#FFFFFFFFDDDD'
palette='#2E2E34343636:#CCCC00000000:#4E4E9A9A0606:#C4C4A0A00000:#34346565A4A4:#757550507B7B:#060698209A9A:#D3D3D7D7CFCF:#555557575353:#EFEF29292929:#8A8AE2E23434:#FCFCE9E94F4F:#72729F9FCFCF:#ADAD7F7FA8A8:#3434E2E2E2E2:#EEEEEEEEECEC'
bold-color='#000000000000'
foreground-color='#000000000000'
visible-name='Default'
scrollback-unlimited=true
EOF
dconf load /org/mate/terminal/ < /tmp/dconf-mate-terminal

and then you have to restart MATE Terminal.
