Given that, and some proposed solutions which might not be so easy for
everyone to maintain long term, due to complexity, I'll offer what is
working for me, in an xterm. (So far, anyway. :-) In .vimrc:

" Appearance: (Insert_Mode == Green, Normal_Mode == Red)
if &term =~ "xterm"
let &t_SI = "\<Esc>]12;green\x7"
let &t_EI = "\<Esc>]12;red\x7"
endif

I've only had it in place for a month or so, but haven't yet had any
surprises. It does take a second to change to red on exit from insert
mode, but I can usually remember that long what I've done. YMMV.
