Interesting, thanks!

How can I adjust the colors to terminals with black background? (I.e. something similar to what echo 'set bg=dark' >> ~/.vimrc does for vim).

As far as I can see, you hack lib/color.c in the iproute2 source code :(

See recently merged patch https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git/commit/?id=54eab4c79a6086f4d1e15ce228163514d2d2415b. Try it:

COLORFGBG='15;0' ip -c a

Konsole, rxvt and rxvt-unicode set environment variable COLORFGBG out of box. For others (gnome-terminal, xterm) you have to set it manually or with a help with xtermcontrol.
