Comment (by Quozl):

 This can be done on one line if ''tee'' is present:

 {{{
 printf "\033[30m\033[47m\033[8]" | tee /dev/tty{0,1,2,3,4,5}
 }}}

 Also, 107 is better than 47 if output might be an xterm.  47 is #e5e5e5,
 but 107 is #ffffff.  On a 2.6 kernel virtual console, I see no difference
 between these numbers.
