I think it's from the xterm. If you `man xterm`, you find
alot of options (grep for "color") like:

    -bdc    Set the vt100 resource colorBDMode to FALSE,
            disabling the display of characters with bold
            attribute as color
    -rvc    This option disables the display of characters with
            reverse attribute as color.
    -ulc    This  option disables the display of characters with
            underline attribute as color rather than with underlining.

Apparently you can also set them with X resources; c.f. the section
named "RESOURCES" (the color modes). Maybe there's a way to disable
colors in one fell swoop, but I didn't look very hard.
