Fedora hates colors if you have a light background terminal?

Is there an official way to disable or alter Fedora colors so that output is always readable on a light background terminal?

Right now I just delete everything in /etc/profiles.d, but obviously all the files reappear if coreutils-common gets updates them.

cp /etc/DIR_COLORS.lightbgcolor ~/.dir_colors might help.

That will fix DIR_COLORS but probably not grep, vim, etc.

I just set TERM=vt100 for now.
