This _doesn't_ happen in a local terminal; only over SSH.
That is odd.
Are the colours the same locally -v- over ssh? I don't just mean "is the text red?" I mean: what are the RGB components of local red? Are they the same as the RGB components of red over ssh? (I don't know of a better way of checking this than examining a screengrab with an image editor.) Similarly for other colours. We would expect local black to be the same as black over ssh, but local red to be different from red over ssh.
Do you get a whine when a local terminal shows coloured text, while in a different window you are sshed into a server without coloured text?
