By default Xterm has a different color palette than the Linux console. A custom XResources file can be used to configure Xterm to very closely match the console palette if desired. See: https://www.n0nb.us/blog/2020/02/coping-with-color-on-the-linux-console-and-xterm-and-friends/ Programs like dialog that are based on Ncurses request a color from the terminal but when the terminal is configured for some other hue, the client programs have no control over that. As my blog post shows, I like to unify the color schemes between the console, Gnome Terminal, and Xterm. If this is not your issue, then you'll need to consult the dialog manual. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
