My previous example is closer to white, to make it darker:
-------------------------8<-------------------------
#!/bin/bash
R_BASE=16384
G_BASE=16384
B_BASE=16384
SC=2		# scale factor, num of bits to shift

`printf "xterm -bg rgb:%04x/%04x/%04x\n" $(($R_BASE+($RANDOM>>$SC)))
$(($G_BASE+($RANDOM>>$SC))) $(($B_BASE+($RANDOM>>$SC)))`
-------------------------8<-------------------------
