that's the "--enable-default-colors" configure option, which relies
on your terminal supporting the ANSI SGR 39 and 49 (which reset the
terminal foreground/background colors to "default").  That would
be something like
        op=\E[39m\E49m
in the terminfo.

(It works for about half the color terminal emulations, including
XFree86 xterm and rxvt).
