Alex: you can get part of what you want if an application supports 
recoloring itself
when focus is not on it. For example, Urxvt lets you specify either via the
commandline or through .Xresources something like this:
 URxvt.fading:                                     10
 URxvt.fadeColor:                                  purple
which iirc fades unfocused terminals by 10% (or maybe it was *to* 10%) 
brightness and
darkens it purplish.

Given how many XMonad users are heavy terminal users and how they 
should  be using
Urxvt anyway because it's so good, I think this carries the user a good 
portion of
the way.
