I'm not sure how important this part is, but I have remind defaulting
to - at 2,2,1 , which specifically tells remind

* use escape sequences for 24-bit colors, which I think my xterm supports
* don't assume that my termainl is either white-background or black-background
* respect my "SPECIAL SHADE" options as well as colors

That gives me a mild gray shading on my weekends, payday in green text,
stuff like that.

rem sat SPECIAL SHADE 200 200 200
rem sun SPECIAL SHADE 200 200 200
rem 5 nov 2021 *14 SPECIAL COLOR 0 128 0 payday
