It's far far easier to just do color palette overrides in your terminal 
emulator.

The "Dark Pastels" preset in XFCE Terminal makes everything just work. 
Both iproute2 palettes work fine.

Anyone who really cares about colors can and should dive into the topic 
(not me). Once your graphical desktop is up and configured you'll be 
just fine.

The only real issue here is force-enabling colors where they are least 
welcome (crashed server, vt, no mouse, black background, just let me do 
my work please).

This entire discussion has gone way way way out of control.
