Many colors have very low contrast against the grey90 > background But that's the most white color that your terminal can produce. xterm.el doesn't _tell_ the terminal what color to produce for "white", it only _documents_ (sort of) what that color is, in terms of RGB components. > and there's no way I can see to set the background to brightwhite. I don't think you can, not for the background. But I'm not an expert on xterm. > I guess I can try and hack my xterm.el I don't see how you can, but let us know if you find a way. I'm closing this bug. Feel free to reopen if you find a way of making your white "whiter".
