Description Gabriel de Perthuis 2006-06-20 12:03:31 UTC 
When using gnome-terminal with anything else than a black or white background, or with some transparency, there are always some colors (typically, in LS_COLORS) that are unreadable.
Colors are handled by escape sequences, so it should be possible to tweak what color is used for a given escape sequence.
It happens that xchat-gnome just implemented "colorspace optimisation", to create a color palette that contrasts against a given background. gnome-terminal should just steal this idea and the code.
