Normal is black background. Don't believe me? Look at tty1 :)
I was thinking that. The first thing I do to any terminal application is set it up for a black background, preferably with green text (unless showing the mentioned dir colours or syntax highlighting)
It would I imagine be hard to come up with a set of colours that work equally well on white backgrounds as well as they do on black. Given that tty1 has a black background and most x term type apps seem to default to white this presents a bit of a problem.
