   I was trying to establish what colors would be reasonable there.

   How many colors does that terminal support?

16 colors from what I understand.  list-color-display shows:

  black		       black  #000000
  red		       red  #ff0000
  green		       green  #00ff00
  yellow		       yellow  #ffff00
  blue		       blue  #0000ff
  magenta		       magenta  #ff00ff
  cyan		       cyan  #00ffff
  white		       white  #ffffff

I'd think that magenta would make most sense, but that would require
changing what is used for eshell-ls-archive?
