* CORRECTION * It is necessary to specify the class or instance for
correct application of preferences when logging in to a fresh session
due to the app defaults in:
/etc/X11/app-defaults/XClock*
>From the xclock man page:
"WIDGETS
In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of the
widgets which compose xclock. In the notation below, indentation indicates
hierarchical structure. The widget class name is given first, followed by the
widget instance name.
XClock xclock
Clock clock
"
so, my corrected .Xresources file would be this:
~$ cat .Xresources
*background: #000000
*foreground: #ffffff
XClock.Clock.majorColor: #666666
XClock.Clock.minorColor: #444444
XClock.Clock.hourColor: #888888
XClock.Clock.minuteColor: #888888
XClock.Clock.secondColor: #222222
XClock*geometry: 350x350-125+75

Title:
xclock's reverseVideo draws black on black
Status in x11-apps package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: x11-apps
Package x11-apps 7.5+5. When xclock is given -rv it has a black
background instead of a white one but much of the clock isn't drawn;
presumably those missing bits are still being drawn in black.
Easy to confirm; compare `xclock' and `xclock -rv'. Adding -norender
changes the behaviour; white hands are now visible with -rv but the
clock face is still missing. With -digital no text is displayed.
It has been like this for several releases but decades ago it used to
work just fine. I suspect the render additions are what's caused the
bugs.
