oops. I /can/ already use escape sequences to set the color.
# echo "^[[31mthis appears in red^[[0m"

I really mean query. Something like the escape sequences which can be
used to get the window size. (e.g. after a SIGWINCH).

I don't know if other terminals can do this. I mean: suppose an
application /could/ query if rxvt has a dark or a light bg it could
set some color defaults appropriately. I think that would be useful.
