  25. X3.64 doesn't include color control, at least not in the copy I got
  26. from the library and read.  ISO 6429 (which I haven't read; this is
  27. second-hand at best) does include some new values for X3.64's SGR
  28. sequence, for controlling color.  (Of course, you may already be aware
  29. of this; you didn't quite say you thought X3.64 included color.)
  30.  
  31. In any case, yes, you're right.  xterm doesn't do color.
