Terminals support 16 colors (well, eight plus intensity). If you want to
change them, change what the *term thinks the colors represent. So, *you*
still call it 'Red', but you get the neat pastel thing you want instead of
the bright thing you can't read (just as an example).
In xterm, this is easily done with a couple of resource settings.
For gvim, of course, you can use any hex triplet as a color.
In the console, I think you're stuck. :(
