I also use light backgrounds for my terminals.

For eix, I have this in a file in /etc/eixrc/:

BG0=none
BG1=none
BG2=none
BG3=none
COLORSCHEME0=3
COLORSCHEME1=3


That is not as good as eix did before the current 256-color schemes were
added, but it is not unreadable.

For portage, I find its color choices to be OK.

My environment includes:

COLORFGBG='0;15'
COLORTERM=rxvt

And in ~/.Xdefaults I have:

 URxvt*background: white
 URxvt*color3: chocolate4
URxvt*color11: chocolate2

For terms like xterm and the rxvts you can configure any X11 colors for
each of the numbered terminal colors.

URxvt's default colours are:

! color0 (black)  = Black
! color1 (red)= Red3
! color2 (green)  = Green3
! color3 (yellow) = Yellow3
! color4 (blue)   = Blue3
! color5 (magenta)= Magenta3
! color6 (cyan)   = Cyan3
! color7 (white)  = AntiqueWhite
! color8 (bright black)   = Grey25
! color9 (bright red) = Red
! color10(bright green)   = Green
! color11(bright yellow)  = Yellow
! color12(bright blue)= Blue
! color13(bright magenta) = Magenta
! color14(bright cyan)= Cyan
! color15(bright white)   = White
! foreground  = Black
! background  = White

I'm sure most terminals have some way of doing that sort of configuration.

I use a light background in my terminal and use color.map to deal with
it. You can replace specific colours in color.map as well as changing
colours for functions, such as:

green = purple
yellow=brown
