Both override what is in /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color. The first
option is best for me.

First read about the -p option in dircolors(1). There are 8 available
colours (30-37) for a terminal outside X. In an xterm color0, color1 etc
correspond to 30, 31 etc. colors 8-15 corresond to the bold variants of
these colors. Please see xterm(1) and /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color.

For example, DIR is 01;34. This corresponds to color12.

I'd suggest we are now going well beyond your original (solved) problem.
