Sounds useful. It's planned now. :)

Using all the standard escape sequences. :)

To set the 'default' color, use:

setterm -foreground red -background green -store

To always use them, put something like:

if [ x$TERM_PROGRAM = xGNUstep_Terminal ]; then
    setterm -foreground green -background red -store -clear
fi

in ~/.bashrc (or equivalent).
