I'm sensitive to high-contrast text especially white background, so added two color modes with black backgrounds. Figured other people may want similar options.

-t 5 uses the default background color and basic 8-color commands, which should let most terminal emulators apply their own color theme.
-t 6 uses the RGB commands like the 1.6 default -t 1 which gives a stark black background.

For the Windows side, -t 2 does a dark background mode.

As always, glad to tweak if preferred to be implemented differently.

Does seem like this would fix #477 but no feedback yet from people mentioning they'd test.

Heres some info about my terminal as well if it helps:

$ echo $TERM

I also love this option for black backgrounds with colored text, which should definitely be in the default color option set. Yes "-t 0" will remove all colors and have a black background, but what I was definitely seeking was a black background with colors on the text to show status, so this was a great solution.

How can we help get this merged?
