23.1; white background is color #e5e5e5 in terminal window |

I am running emacs in an Apple Terminal window while ssh'd to a Linux Ubuntu
10.04.1 system. My TERM is set to xterm-color. (Note that the Apple Terminal
app only supports 8 colors.) All the colors are quite dingy looking, but in
particular the background is color #e5e5e5 which on my computer is fairly dark
and makes the text hard to read (particularly cyan or green text).
Here's what list-colors-display shows:
black black
#000000
red red
#cd0000
green green
#00cd00
yellow yellow
#cdcd00
blue blue
#0000ee
magenta magenta
#cd00cd
cyan cyan
#00cdcd
white white
#e5e5e5
Note that others on the emacs mailing list have been able to reproduce this
problem (even on a Windows system). See the thread "white is #e5e5e5" started
Jan 23, 2011.
