I use the following to map reverse video to a color for cons25 (white on blue actually -- it's still sort of reverse video, but has better colors than inverting the foreground and background would normally give). This also gives a cyan foreground. %%% case $TERM in cons25) printf '\033[0x\033[2;6x\033[6;7x\033[5;4x' ;; pcvt*) printf '\033[0;4;37;44m\033d\033[0;7;37;44m\033d\033[0;36;40m\033d' ;; esac %%% The pcvt version may have rotted. IIRC, this works better in pcvt because the escape sequences give a harder setting (one not affected by '\033C').
