Programs like mutt, tin etc. use ansi colors. You can change the corresponding
colors in .Xdefaults or similar. For example i have:
XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override \n\
<Key>F2: set-scrollbar(toggle)\n\
<Key>Prior: scroll-back(1,halfpage)\n\
<Key>Next: scroll-forw(1,halfpage)
XTerm*VT100*colorMode: on
XTerm*VT100*colorBDMode: on
XTerm*VT100*colorBD: blue
XTerm*VT100*colorULMode: on
XTerm*VT100*colorUL: magenta
XTerm*VT100*color2: black
XTerm*VT100*color3: magenta
XTerm.VT100.eightBitInput: true
XTerm.VT100.eightBitOutput: true
XTerm.VT100*underLine: false
XTerm.VT100*cursorColor: lime green
XTerm*VT100*saveLines: 400
XTerm*termName: xterm-color
XTerm*loginShell: true
because i was not able to read yellow color on my laptop.
