Yep, that's one of the changes. Upstream xterm's colors are
slightly different from what Red Hat has shipped. I think they
used to be very ugly or something, so we added customizations to
make it prettier, then xterm cleaned itself up over time to look
nicer, but with slightly different shade of blue. That's not
fact, just personal hypothesis. ;o)
