Under X I prefer a darkslateblue background, so after changing the
"default"s in .muttrc to "color0" I also added

Rxvt*color0: darkslateblue

to .Xdefaults.

Now mutt goes ahead and uses darkslateblue for the background.
(I run rxvt rather than xterm, but presume xterm has a similar
feature)

The only shortcoming to this approach is that other apps which expect
color0 to be black don't look exactly right.
