The notion of color is part of the terminal capabilities. And the answer 
should be, change the default TERM environment variable to linux-m instead 
of linux.

Still I looked for the proper place to set the TERM environment and I 
could not find where one should put it. Either mingetty should be told 
(which apparently is not possible) or one can do it conditionally based on 
tty being used.

Both will not change the colors seen during the boot process. Maybe this 
is a good question for Red Hat's knowledgebase or bugzilla ?

It probably is a kernel boot parameter.
