man xterm
colorBLMode (class ColorMode)
Specifies whether characters with the blink
attribute should be displayed in color. Note that
setting ``colorMode'' off disables all colors,
including this.
colorBL (class Foreground)
This specifies the color to use to display blink
characters if the ``colorBLMode'' resource is
enabled.
