OK. A little further along and I've got something that looks great in X with
URXVT Terminal (VIM), but under Linux Virtual Terminal it's not as fabulous
with contrast.

(Because LightGrey isn't available, and only Grey.  I am using frambuffer too,
so why LightGrey isn't available, I haven't looked into it yet.)


Here's what I got so far for other users searching this thread:

" Tabline needs a little more contrast
hi TabLineSel   cterm=bold,reverse  ctermbg=LightMagenta    ctermfg=DarkGrey
hi TabLine      cterm=reverse       ctermbg=White           ctermfg=DarkGrey
hi TabLineFill  cterm=reverse       ctermbg=None            ctermfg=DarkGrey


(What fun.)

One still unanswered question, is why the tabline scheme is different between
Linux Virtual Terminal, X URXVT Default Color Themed Terminal, and X URXVT User
Customized Color Themed Terminal.
