[SOLVED] Impossible to get BLACK background in Mutt

I like to have white text on black background in my terminals, but Mutt insists on turning grey instead of black and I can't figure out why this happens.

The color setting for Mutt is:
color normal white black

This works perfectly in KDE and XFCE, but not in Gnome. I've tried both gnome-terminal and rxvt-unicode but with the same result: White text on black background works nicely until Mutt is started and turns the background grey. Makes it hard to read the statusbars a.o

Nice if anyone can help.

Try the "default" setting, as in:

color normal default default

Try the "default" setting, as in:
Code:

color normal default default

Replacing the instances of "black" in mutt settings with "default" sorted things out.

Thanks smile
