These are my mappings to change cursor color (for vim in xterm):
map @1 :!echo -ne "\033]12;midnightblue\007"<CR><CR>
map @2 :!echo -ne "\033]12;grey100\007"<CR><CR>
map @3 :!echo -ne "\033]12;chartreuse1\007"<CR><CR>
map @4 :!echo -ne "\033]12;SlateBlue\007"<CR><CR>
You can check if that works for you.
