This should be solved at the core: adjust the RGB colours associated
with the ANSI/colour sequences in xterm.  Does xterm support this?
Surely it stores the RGB values somewhere, I just don't know if they're
hard-coded.  (I'm not an X guru).

It's quite possible in programs like rxvt, PuTTY, and SecureCRT
(Windows).
