Somewhere between xterm-patchlevels 174 (included in xf 4.3.0) and patchlevel
184 (currently in xc-xorg tree), some color definition in
xc/programs/xterm/XTerm-col.ad have been changed:

diff -u xfree86-4.3.0.dfsg.1/build-tree/xc/programs/xterm/XTerm-col.ad
/data/work/cvs/xfree/xc-xorg/programs/xterm/XTerm-col.ad  | egrep
'VT100[*]color' | grep -i blue
-*VT100*color4: blue3
+*VT100*color4: DodgerBlue1
-*VT100*color12: blue
+*VT100*color12: SteelBlue1

If you set add "*VT100*color4: blue3" in your .Xresources or change it
/etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color, you'll have the colors the way you 
are used to ...

>From upstream Changelog file (http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.log.html), you
can see Thomas E. Dickey's comments for patch #180 (qouted bellow):

# use color resource setting from Debian package for xterm VT100 widget, since
the choice of blues provides better contrast.
# remove color resources from XTerm.ad, leaving them only in XTerm-col.ad
(prompted by Debian package for xterm).
