Hmm, that didn't work for me -- it did nothing in xterm, and in urxvt it
changed the background but not the foreground.

Incidentally $fgcolor and $bgcolor there are numeric codes, not escape
sequences.  If you do

    autoload colors
    colors

then you can use e.g. $color[yellow] to get the numeric code.
