Hi.

I don't think that's possible!

The colour is a function of your terminal emulator software. You should change the colour using that.

If you can use term type xterm (or ssh -X ), when you can use -bg blue ....
In windows you can use aplications than permit forwarding of X11 and a X11 serv up (putty, Reflection ......)
If you conect from other linux/unix the X11 need to be up.
