You kind of missed my question: Do we make a new rule where a correctly 
set COLORFGBG is mandatory for linux vt?

That's what I meant. The fact that both vt and graphical terminal 
emulators tend to be dark is another point.

My point is you can't rely on COLORFGBG. You can only use it if/when set.

A reasonable default is needed.
