Ahhh, so THAT's what you mean by "messed up".

I *think* this is actually a result of a change, not to xterm, but to 
it's default configuration. The easiest way to change it back to the 
way you like it is to set things explicitly in your ~/.Xdefaults file, 
like so:

     xterm*color4: blue2

Or like this, to be even more explicit:

     xterm*color4: #0000A8

The hex is ordered: red green blue (obviously)

When you change it, of course, you have to run:

     xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults

If that doesn't fix it for you, then your xterm really is messed up. 
Once you've done that, then xterm will use that color for color4 NO 
MATTER WHAT! uxterm, xterm, hand-compiled xterms, they should all have 
exactly the same color for color4, because you've explicitly set it.

I even know how to do the same thing for Apple's Terminal.app: 
http://culater.net/software/TerminalColors/TerminalColors.php

Personally, I rather like the color it is now---I find it much easier 
to read than before.
