I recently fiddled with this, too. And it took me a while to get the
curses code right. What I *can* do is give you some source that will
work if color works at all:

import curses

def mymain(stdscr):
    curses.init_pair(1, curses.COLOR_RED, curses.COLOR_WHITE)
    stdscr.clear()

    stdscr.addstr(0, 0, "This text is red on white.", curses.color_pair(1))

    stdscr.refresh()
    stdscr.getkey()

curses.wrapper(mymain)

I've no solution for how to activate color on your FreeBSD console,
though. Maybe best ask on a FreeBSD group.
