Maybe not exactly what you are looking for, but to control some color aspects of what see in a console (mostly directory and file type color assignments) there are:
Code:
$ locate DIR_COLORS
/etc/DIR_COLORS
/etc/DIR_COLORS.256color
/etc/DIR_COLORS.lightbgcolor
I have for years used and modified the DIR_COLORS file by doing:
Code:
$ cp /etc/DIR_COLORS /home/me/.dir_colors
You can have a field day arranging things to suit yourself by editing your .dir_colors file, which is automatically parsed when calling up an X term and I think on console also.
