Ummm. `XTerm*ColorMode: no' seems like it'd do what you want.
That seems to work just fine. I wish I was aware of that resource a bit

In the case of terminal colours, I thought most people really did
use black bg terminals, or at least dark something, like blue. Also,
real VT100s and VT220s have black bg screens with amber text.

The same can be said about the default ls colors.
It shows directory names with blue on black.
