Try "xterm -cm".

There may be 100 other ways to use or not use color.
For example this also works and can be added to your login dot file.
export MANPAGER=" colcrt | less"
or
export MANPAGER=" col -b | less"
Thanks for the help. I tried as you suggest and those do work for me.
What I did was add, as was suggested, four lines to .Xresources ~
xterm*colorULMode: on
xterm*colorBDMode: on
xterm*colorUL: magenta
xterm*colorBD: blue
That resulted in a display I could read, but still with some color. Your suggestions produce a man page display in black on the white field which is what I asked for.
Thanks.
