I have a trivial desire that hopefully someone can help me with, i used to have access to a Sun Sparc Station 1 running Solaris, but now that privilage has been withdrawn, however, does anyone know how to change the shell colors to black text on a white background? im not talking about anything X, just the plain jane bash that starts up.

setterm -fore yellow -bold on -back blue -store > /dev/tty$n
done
