If the defaults are still:
#COLOR:0:black:white
#COLOR:1:blue:white
#COLOR:2:yellow:blue
#COLOR:3:green:white
#COLOR:4:magenta:white
#COLOR:5:blue:white
#COLOR:6:red:white
#COLOR:7:magenta:cyan
then I must agree with Laura that they are not desirable.
1) On our FMR-70HL2's, which are the only teaching PCs available
to us, the telnet terminal emulation (which cannot be changed
because nothing, and I mean I have tried and tried, is compatible
with the BIOS on those machines) does not support background
color, so the default above is black on black (Uh, yes, nothing.)
for regular text and the title. The others are not particularly
bad except that blue on black (remember background is black) is
hard to see. Input to the line editor is black on black. :(
2) On my notebook NEC9821Ne, which runs FreeBSD2.2.1(98) the console
seems to be able to handle only one or the other of background
or foreground (or something like that; it really doesn't make
sense to me). The result is that the above default is black
letters on an all white background for EVERYTHING except the
status bar, which for some reason is black letters on a blue
background. Yes, that means the only way to see you're
navigating links is to be in advanced user mode and look at
the status bar.
Unless someone has the exact opposite of the problems I would undergo
with that default left as is, I would propose, again we're talking default
-- something that everyone can LIVE WITH --, something like:
#COLOR:0:white:black
#COLOR:1:cyan:black
#COLOR:2:yellow:black
#COLOR:3:magenta:black
#COLOR:4:green:black
#COLOR:5:red:black
#COLOR:6:yellow:black
#COLOR:7:magenta:black
Notice that the only repeated color is 3 and 7. This is okay because
color 3 is not yet implemented anywhere. In the default above, 1 and 5
are needlessly repeated, and green is not used.
