I also use light backgrounds for my terminals.
For eix, I have this in a file in /etc/eixrc/:
BG0=none
BG1=none
BG2=none
BG3=none
COLORSCHEME0=3
COLORSCHEME1=3
That is not as good as eix did before the current 256-color schemes were
added, but it is not unreadable.
For portage, I find its color choices to be OK.
My environment includes:
COLORFGBG='0;15'
COLORTERM=rxvt
And in ~/.Xdefaults I have:
URxvt*background: white
URxvt*color3: chocolate4
URxvt*color11: chocolate2
For terms like xterm and the rxvts you can configure any X11 colors for
each of the numbered terminal colors.
URxvt's default colours are:
! color0 (black) = Black
! color1 (red) = Red3
! color2 (green) = Green3
! color3 (yellow) = Yellow3
! color4 (blue) = Blue3
! color5 (magenta) = Magenta3
! color6 (cyan) = Cyan3
! color7 (white) = AntiqueWhite
! color8 (bright black) = Grey25
! color9 (bright red) = Red
! color10 (bright green) = Green
! color11 (bright yellow) = Yellow
! color12 (bright blue) = Blue
! color13 (bright magenta) = Magenta
! color14 (bright cyan) = Cyan
! color15 (bright white) = White
! foreground = Black
! background = White
I'm sure most terminals have some way of doing that sort of configuration.
