You should be able to independently redefine any of the colors using 
initc.  The ncurses test program's 'd' screen uses this feature for 
terminals that support it.

The program also accepts a command line option -p which lets it load a set 
of color data from a file. See the ".dat" files in ncurses/test for an 
example.
