Quite often the cterm background color is not set or is a value for
which we don't know what the RGB values are.
We could use what t_RB returns, but still need to check the Normal
highlighting, as it can overrule this. And the user can change
'background' intenrionally.
Trying to get this right automatically is bound to fail in mysterious
ways. I think it's better to rely on 'background' and the program to
set the colors if it wants to.
