Hello,

The answer is in the kernel and man syscons(4). Add these options:

# The following options will let you change the default colors of syscons.
options 	SC_NORM_ATTR="(FG_GREEN|BG_BLACK)"
options 	SC_NORM_REV_ATTR="(FG_YELLOW|BG_GREEN)"
options 	SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR="(FG_RED|BG_BLACK)"
options 	SC_KERNEL_CONS_REV_ATTR="(FG_BLACK|BG_RED)"

The colors that I know of are Black, grey, darkgrey, yellow, lightyellow, 
red, lightred, lightblue, blue, green, and lightgreen. There should be a list 
of colors at #/usr/inclide/machine/pc/display.h, but I have never seen it.
