OK. A little further along and I've got something that looks great in X with
URXVT Terminal (VIM), but under Linux Virtual Terminal it's not as fabulous
with contrast.

(Because LightGrey isn't available, and only Grey. I am using frambuffer too,
so why LightGrey isn't available, I haven't looked into it yet.)

Here's what I got so far for other users searching this thread:

" Tabline needs a little more contrast
hi TabLineSel cterm=bold,reverse ctermbg=LightMagenta ctermfg=DarkGrey
hi TabLine cterm=reverse ctermbg=White ctermfg=DarkGrey
hi TabLineFill cterm=reverse ctermbg=None ctermfg=DarkGrey

(What fun.)

One still unanswered question, is why the tabline scheme is different between
Linux Virtual Terminal, X URXVT Default Color Themed Terminal, and X URXVT User
Customized Color Themed Terminal.
