The problem is the luminance value of >colors such a red is quite low compared to others. The problem with Linux colors is that they have been designed to be used on the white background which is the xterm's default (and which I hate as it's tough on my eyes). Since I usually use the black background, I disable them too. When I have time and patience to mess around, I set the LS_COLORS and such variables to the complementary bitmasks of what they've been, and that fixes the problem with contrast on the black background. -SB
