Did you try to invert the colors

No, I'll try that. But even before my changes, the background color
appeared to be set unconditionally to Qt::Black:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/eeedbc7c0740

Is there a way to ask for the background color from the hidden terminal?
Or should I just set it to white unconditionally?

With the attached changes from your original code, I get a white
background and the reverse video that is used by things like the less
status message is correct.  But instead of black for the font, I'm
seeing gray.  I guess that's because the hidden terminal is using gray
as the foreground color, not white.  What's the best way to change
that?

I guess that the terminal is using color at index 7 for the text foreground. Try to set that one to black. But more generally, the change should involve all colors: that is blue becomes darkBlue and vice versa, and so on...
