My favourite

And then there's ssh_host, my personal favourite.

It's a wrapper script around ssh that sets the window color depending on the arguments passed through.

The nice thing is that it gets triggered whenever you execute ssh (assuming you set up an alias), and restores the terminal background color when you logout.

Now that I think about it, you could also use it to change the background color for other local processes, like emacs.
