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?
