[SOLVED] pacman-color base text is black

I would like the 'base' text (normal stuff, like the text telling you repos are up to date) in pacman-color to be grey, as I am going to be using a terminal emulator with a black background. Unfortunately, pacman-color seems bent on using a black font for its text. I can change most colors in /etc/pacman.d/color.conf, but not that. I tried adding a new line, 'Black = white' or similar, but it complains it doesn't know 'Black'.

Any help? Thanks!

/Users/dav7/ + strings `which pacman-color` | grep -i black
:black

Try "black = white"?

Doesn't work

EDIT: Got it working, but I have no clue how. Just randomly started. Go figure. In case someone else comes along with the same problem, I think the fix happened when editing my .Xdefaults... here's part of mine to try and see if something fixes it.

xterm*background: black
xterm*foreground: light grey
xterm*cursorColor: navy
xterm*pointerColor: white
xterm*pointerColorBackground: black
xterm*faceName: Terminus
xterm*faceSize: 13
