My idea:

AV_LOG_FATAL: red blinking
AV_LOG_ERROR: red
AV_LOG_WARN: yellow

Regarding changing the background, we yesterday discussed in
#ffmpeg-devel that it's maybe the best idea to implement some high
contrast algorithm.

Another option would be one being able to set color with configure...

Sth. like that?
../configure --warn-fg-color=2 --warn-bg-color=3 --err-fg-color=4
--err-bg-color=5 --fatal-fg-color=6 --fatal-bg-color=7
