Carl,
colors = (0,128,96) (255,255,255) (147,17,36) (0, 0, 159) (255, 255, 180)
(0, 131, 223) (255,0,0) (10,100, 100) (165,210,210) (0, 255, 0) (87, 0, 87)
(255,183,0) (255, 255,255) (170,17,36) (220,220,220) (0,0,0)
I've fiddled with particular colors so much that it's not optimized, but my
strategy was to only rely on rows (in the color table) that were the same
color all the way across--no anomalies. On my system, those rows are:

0, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12. That means, from the above colors setting:

  0: dark aqua       1: white      2: dark red
  (0,128,96)      (255,255,255)   (147,17,36)

   4: pale yellow   8: gray aqua   12 : white
  (255, 255, 180) (165,210,210) (255, 255,255)
I'm not sure I ended up using all of those rows, but they were the ones I
could rely on, so to speak.
And actually you can't totally rely on row 0, because MD 1 doesn't conform
to the mathematical rule.
Also useful: df dd=128 gives you MoDe 79 for DeFined text that's MDNM and
the whole color table when DeFined is still readable with dd=128.
And, as I stated in an earlier post: the value one sets for MD NM can
interfere with the proper functioning of the settings for the top command
line: using MD NM=251 made the first two values under DF L1 not work right.
When I made it MD NM=207, all was well. Of course, I had to adjust the
colors= section of CONFIG.TXT to keep MD NM being black on white.


Regards,
Harry

Harry,

What are your color settings in config.txt?
