On the tty my eyes are blind to blue on black, I use

  % emacs -Q --color=no

Is there a way to set emacsclient on the tty for no color?

You can set the tty-color-mode parameter of the frame, see its documentation in the ELisp manual.

Rather than throw away color support altogether, you could tell Emacs
that your terminal has a dark background, in which case it will choose
saner colors for your situation (in general Emacs can't know the
background color of your terminal and it by default presumes it's
a light color, IIRC).  E.g.:

    emacs -nw -Q --eval "(setq frame-background-mode 'dark)"

Of course, you may still prefer not using colors at all, and I have
nothing against that.
