The Linux virtual terminals support 16 colors, which are configurable in:
/sys/module/vt/parameters/default_{red,grn,blu}
A well formed color map, cmap, can be dynamically set using the ioctl:
ioctl(/dev/tty0, PIO_CMAP, cmap)
It would be very Ubuntu of us to provide a program in /sbin/setvtrgb that dynamically modifies these colors. Furthermore, we should provide a better default color palette than the standard vga one, allow admins to configure it, and apply it at boot.
