Setting COLORFGBG=";0" as the manpage suggests helps a lot. Consider a scenario when this command is used under stress to manually bring up networking from a VT. It's a rather basic command that would typically run on a dark background and it's important for it to be accessible by default without fiddling around too much. Thanks!
