Well, here's some more research:

If you send the linux 'terminal' a control code like:
  echo -e "\33[44m"
then this will give your command line a dark blue background.
  echo -e "\33[0m"
or
  echo -e "\33[m"
returns the background back to normal.

If you do the same command in an xterm, you'll get a light
blue background just like what you get by running mc in an
xterm.

So, how do i adjust the colormapping in an xterm?
xstdcmap doesn't seem to do anything:
