Re: Background color Framebuffer console

After enabling console on framebuffer, the background color is "blue"

background color should be "black" by default. What is the endianness
of your host CPU and of the frame buffer?

. How can I change this color (to say black) ? Is this color specified
by vc->vc_video_erase_char ?

To set black background try

# echo -e "\033[40m" > /dev/tty0

You could also try to set other bg colors and see what happens:

# for ((i = 40; i < 51; i++)) do echo -e "\033[${i}m > /dev/tty0"; done

No, it is not specified by vc->vc_video_erase_char but by upper nibble
of vc->vc_color, IIRC.
