I have the following in my .Xdefaults file, which works pretty good:

 XTerm*VT100*colorBDMode:  on   
 XTerm*VT100*colorBD:  blue     
 XTerm*VT100*colorULMode:  on   
 XTerm*VT100*colorUL:  magenta
 XTerm.VT100.eightBitInput:  true
 XTerm.VT100.eightBitOutput:  true
 XTerm.VT100.titeInhibit:  true
  
 XTerm.VT100*colorMode:  on     
 XTerm.VT100*dynamicColors:  on

! Uncomment this use color for underline attribute
 XTerm.VT100*colorULMode:  on
 XTerm.VT100*underLine:  off    
  
! Uncomment this to use color for the bold attribute
 XTerm.VT100*colorBDMode: on
  
 XTerm.VT100*color0: black  
 XTerm.VT100*color1: red3
 XTerm.VT100*color2: green3
 XTerm.VT100*color3: yellow3
 XTerm.VT100*color4: blue3
 XTerm.VT100*color5: magenta3   
 XTerm.VT100*color6: cyan3
 XTerm.VT100*color7: gray90  
 XTerm.VT100*color8: gray30
 XTerm.VT100*color9: red
 XTerm.VT100*color10: green
 XTerm.VT100*color11: yellow    
 XTerm.VT100*color12: blue
 XTerm.VT100*color13: magenta
 XTerm.VT100*color14: cyan
 XTerm.VT100*color15: white  
 XTerm.VT100*colorUL: yellow    
 XTerm.VT100*colorBD: white

 XTerm.VT100*cursorColor: lime green

I believe this should be enough to get you started.
