I guess I don't understand why one would expect that to be possible, or desirable.
What you found is the *default* colors for *one* emulator (what happens if you override them with command-line switches?).
No, those are my colors (the default colors are very different) and are used by any emulator that makes uses of .Xdefaults, which includes rxvt and standard xterms. Command-line switches for both are mostly in a one-to-one correspondence with the directives in .Xdefaults.
Dave and I were talking about being able to query the terminal emulator in a standardized way, and I am pretty sure there is no such way.
Sorry for the noise.
