That's right :)

The easiest way is just to just start the terminal with a black background
like:

xterm -bg black -fg white -e wyrd

But you are right, I saw some inconsistent behavior, when I leave the
default:

color description        white black

in my .wyrdrc, I get black text an white terminal (i.e. it uses my
default terminal colors), but when I change it to:

color description        yellow black

it uses a yellow font on black background.

I think it would be the most consistent to use:

color description        default default

for most items in the /etc/wyrdrc to use the default fore- and
background color of the terminal, but if the user changes that to

color description        white black

he should get white text on black background.
