It's black and white by *default*. It can include standard ANSI colors
if you map them to X colors (see rgb.txt). Here is my .Xresources file:

XTerm*cursorColor: Gold
XTerm*ttyModes: erase ^h
XTerm*titeInhibit: true
XTerm*scrollBar: true
XTerm.Geometry: 80x25
XTerm.VT100.bellSuppressTime: 0
XTerm.VT100.colorMode: on
XTerm.VT100.font: 8x16
XTerm*background: black
XTerm*foreground: white
XTerm*color0: black
XTerm*color1: red3
XTerm*color2: green3
XTerm*color3: yellow3
XTerm*color4: blue3
XTerm*color5: magenta3
XTerm*color6: cyan3
XTerm*color7: gray90
XTerm*color8: gray30
XTerm*color9: red
XTerm*color10: green
XTerm*color11: yellow
XTerm*color12: blue
XTerm*color13: magenta
XTerm*color14: cyan
XTerm*color15: white
XTerm.VT100.colorBDMode: on
XTerm.VT100.colorBD: white
XTerm*reverseWrap: true
XTerm.VT100.saveLines: 300
XTerm.SimpleMenu.background: blue3
XTerm.SimpleMenu.menuLabel.foreground: wheat
XTerm.SimpleMenu.SmeLine.foreground: wheat
XTerm.VT100.translations: #override !Mod3<Key>Prior:scroll-back(1,line)\n\
				    !Mod3<Key>Next :scroll-forw(1,line)

Well, the XTerm parts of it anyway. Place this in .Xresources and it
should work, you can also use other rgb.txt-defined colors.
