You might want to use 'send-pr' to file a problem report (feature request)
to have this added to wsconsctl(8) or wsconscfg(8).

Short term you could just insert the correct escape sequence into your
prompt.  Then check which tty you're on to decide which prompt to use.
You can easily change the text color this way.  The background seems a bit
more difficult. :)

You might also try using 'screen' as it supports changing colors somewhat.
