Work how? Do what? How do I find evidence that either actually do anything? So
far all I've seen is that you've said so, here, & earlier, 2017-08-07 18:03

At the 1.0 change I see
Dpkg::Progress-Fancy::progress-{bg,fg}="%1b[30m"
I put your
Dpkg::Progress-Fancy::progress-bg "%1b[40m";
into /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99mono. It produces no apparent color differences in
apt update or apt upgrade output. Next I tried (per changelog):
Dpkg::Progress-Fancy::progress-bg="%1b[30m";
That too produces no apparent difference, as does:
Dpkg::Progress-Fancy::progress-fg "%1b[30m";

Orange might be red. My eyes are old and hastily deteriorating. That's why color
contrast and text size control are important here, and why less than middle-aged
programmers' ideas of "improvements" aren't always positive change. The bad
color is the foreground color for the progress info in apt update and apt
upgrade that quickly scrolls away and is absent from screen when apt command has
completed.
