I'd say it's something to customize locally, unless we hear similar
problems from many users.

Just to make sure it's not the color translation that causes this in
some way: if you start two Emacs sessions side by side, one windowed,
the other in xterm, and in each one say "M-x list-colors-display RET",
is there an xterm color that looks like RosyBrown, more than the color
mapped to it by default?
