How can I get Terminal, Terminator, or Tilda to use xterm's colors?
If I know the hex value I can at least get into Terminator.

Many X-applications (eg. xterm/mterm) honor the X-toolkit option '-fg' and '-bg'.
eg. xterm -bg green -fg white

All four terminals I posted already have white text on black background. I want to change the other colors.

nah - that's the job of the windows manager - I dont believe you can change it on a case-by-case basis ... but I may be wrong

Many terminal apps use X resources to set the colors. They will have names like "color0" through "color9". I don't use any of those particular terminals, though.

I think for Tilda and Terminal (gnome-terminal, right?) you can right-click. For gnome-terminal edit the current profile or make a new one.

From a program I once had:
(defvar xterm-standard-16color-alist
'(("black" 0 0 0 0)
("red3" 1 52685 0 0)
("green3" 2 0 52685 0)
("yellow3" 3 52685 52685 0)
("dodgerblue1" 4 7710 37008 65535)
("magenta3" 5 52685 0 52685)
("cyan3" 6 0 52685 52685)
("gray90" 7 58853 58853 58853)
("gray50" 8 32639 32639 32639)
("red" 9 65535 0 0)
("green" 10 0 65535 0)
("yellow" 11 65535 65535 0)
("steelblue1" 12 25443 47288 65535)
("magenta" 13 65535 0 65535)
("cyan" 14 0 65535 65535)
("white" 15 65535 65535 65535))
I used the following hex approximations for my own eterm settings:
("black" 0 0 0 0)
("red3" 1 cd 0 0)
("green3" 2 0 cd 0)
("yellow3" 3 cd cd 0)
("dodgerblue1" 4 1e 90 ff)
("magenta3" 5 cd 0 cd)
("cyan3" 6 0 cd cd)
("gray90" 7 e5 e5 e5)
("gray50" 8 7f 7f 7f)
("red" 9 ff 0 0)
("green" 10 0 ff 0)
("yellow" 11 ff ff 0)
("steelblue1" 12 63 b8 ff)
("magenta" 13 ff 0 ff)
("cyan" 14 0 ff ff)
("white" 15 ff ff ff)
I hope my notes are not wrong. It's been a while since I've looked at this. *scratches head*

Except for the two blues and grays, the rest seem to match.
Edit: Ok I finally managed to convert the colors for Terminator:
palette=#000000000000:#CDCB00000000:#0000CDCB0000:#CDCBCDCB0000:#00000000FFFF:#CDCB0000CDCB:#0000CDCBCDCB:#E5E2E5E2E5E2:#7F7F7F7F7F7F:#FFFF00000000:#0000FFFF0000:#FFFFFFFF0000:#5C5C5C5CFFFF:#FFFF0000FFFF:#0000FFFFFFFF:#FFFFFFFFFFFF
