10 FWIW I've long had my own color.map here, needed on a standard VT but
11 useful in a terminal as well. The new teal default seems a lot more sane
12 to me.

14 Tho unfortunately color.map can't solve the entire problem due to some
15 output not being color-settable in color.map. See bug #759820. While I
16 filed that during a now-fixed konsole bug that made things (much!) worse,
17 the fact that not all colored portage output can be color-set in
18 color.map remains. Hopefully that's being looked at as well, but that
19 doesn't change the fact that an improved default color.map, as here, is
20 useful too. =:^)
