It seems highly dependant on which text console you're using. 'white' in the
gnome terminal is darker than 'white' in xterm, and in rxvt it's a pale pink
which gives a better contrast. Unfortunately xterm is the only terminal which
gives the correct key mappings, at least on my system. (Ubuntu Dapper Drake).
