While I appreciate the previous responses, I would like to point out
that this is another of those needs that would be better served by
profiles (á la Gnome Terminal). In Gnome Terminal the profiles (which
also store the color preferences) are transparently saved when ending a
session and restored when the user comes back.

Also, I think the above solution would only work for individual Terminal
instances and not for shared instances or different tabs in the same
Terminal window.
