I should have mentioned that I did that already. Did a strings xrdb
and discovered that the only one starting with a captial letter was Rxvt.
So I tried:

*Rxvt*color0:  black
*Rxvt*color1:  #ffff99999999
*Rxvt*color2:  #9999ffff9999
*Rxvt*color3:  #ffffffff9999
*Rxvt*color4:  #99999999ffff
*Rxvt*color5:  #ffff9999ffff
*Rxvt*color6:  #9999ffffffff
*Rxvt*color7:  #ffffffffffff    

(I also tried - guessing wildly - RXvt as in VT100 - never understood the
magic with these first two CApitals). no avail.


> XTerm to Rxvt in the duped copy (don't forget to "xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults"

Did that explicitly, started a  new rxvt and colors are unchanged.
I start to believe that rxvt doesn't allow for this - OTOH I could UTSL.
