:-)

If it's many colors and a tiny footprint are desired, what I've done is
compiled Suckless Tools' st terminal with many different color
combinations, each with the name 'zz' plus the first letter of the
foreground color plus the first letter of the background color.

Suckless Tools terminals are very low footprint, but they also lack
features necessary for certain tasks. IIRC you'd never use one for a
login terminal, and IIRC they can't be told to run a certain script
(like xterm -e). But they often suffice, and you can easily compile
them to have the exact font size you like.
