Hmmm...that's some interesting code that allows for different colour
schemes akin to the CDE colour-tool (I've only seen this on HP's
HP/UX10.0, BTW; we don't have Solaris 2.5 yet).

I think the pre-defined colour-schme idea is an even nicer solution
to creating a 'really-dark attribute.

If the user is given a choice of several colour schemes then there's
a better chance of him finding a suitable one where only a few
colours are "off" and which could then be easily modified.

Per, how easy would it be to incorporate some sort of colour-scheme
functionality in the Customize dialog, where the user could pick from
a set of pre-defined colour schemes (which I think I just volunteered
to design) and then modify one or two colors and then save the
results as defaults?
