Well, when you use "white" or "brightwhite", it tells ncurses to select
color 7 or 15, respectively. What those colors translate to depends on
what X resources you use for those colors.
For instance, my /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm file has these values
in it:
*VT100*color0: black
*VT100*color1: red
*VT100*color2: green
*VT100*color3: yellow
*VT100*color4: blue
*VT100*color5: magenta
*VT100*color6: cyan
*VT100*color7: white
*VT100*color8: black
*VT100*color9: red
*VT100*color10: green
*VT100*color11: yellow
*VT100*color12: blue
*VT100*color13: magenta
*VT100*color14: cyan
*VT100*color15: white
I changed them from the defaults, if I recall. Here, the "white" is
translated by the X11 RGB color database, not ncurses, so it should
definitely result in a 'white' color.
