There is a long thread on
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438076

I have switched to eix-99999999 which enables customization of the  
colors.

I like black text on a light yellow background. Here is my   .eixrc

# BOOLEAN
# This variable is only used for delayed substitution in  
COLORSCHEME{,_ALT}.
# If true, the "dark" color schemes (for black background) are selected.
DARK="false"

# STRING
# If TERM_ALT does not match, this chooses the corresponding color of
# color specifications (starting from 0).
COLORSCHEME="%{?DARK}0%{else}2%{}"

# STRING
# If TERM_ALT matches, this chooses the corresponding color of
# color specifications (starting from 0).
COLORSCHEME_ALT="%{?DARK}1%{else}3%{}"
