You can see to what color xterm maps RosyBrown by evaluating this expression: (tty-color-desc "RosyBrown") > But I used customize-face to set a terminal Emacs face background to > RosyBrown and compare that with the window Emacs list-colors-display's > RosyBrown. They seem to be the same color. This is expected. So it looks like the problem is indeed in the font used by xterm and not in the color translation.
