Sure. But I want colored output on my default background color.
:-)

ls with dircolors works perfectly. So I was curious if there
is a reason for Asterisk to behave differently (forcing the
background color to black).

The reason for not using opposite foreground colors on white background
is that other software (like ls or vim) doesn't do that either (except
for white->black of course). So currently that's the best thing to do.

I can confirm that my patch works in Apple's Terminal.app which defaults
to "xterm-color" emulation.
With Corydon's patch some "colored" text is rendered in black because the
terminal doesn't support the dim attribute (at least mine doesn't).

Any other testers?
