I would also plug the Tektronix 4105, 4107, 4109 series of color graphics
terminals.  They support ANSI (VT100), and VT52 functions and you can select
both the color of the character, the color of the background around the
characters and the color of the screen area where no characters have been
placed yet.  I like to use white characters on a blue background with the
cleared screen area also blue but others in my area use differant combinations.
The point is, you get to choose what you find pleasant (although at a price,
the terminals aren't cheap).
