[SOLVED] rxvt-unicode font color too dark

I just updated rxvt-unicode-patched and now my font is quite dark. It was bright previously but now appears as:

Here is my .bashrc:

(changing the last two lines to FFFFFF makes no difference)

LIGHTPURPLE="\e[1;35m"
YELLOW="\e[1;33m"
WHITE="\e[1;37m"
NC="\e[0m"            # No Color


PS1="\[$BLUE\]ââ\[$PURPLE\][ \[$YELLOW\]\$(date +%D) $(date +%r) \[$PURPLE\]][ \[$LIGHTGREEN\]\w \[$PURPLE\]]\n\[$BLUE\]ââ\[$YELLOW\]> \[$LIGHTGRAY\]"

^^ When on the PS1 line there I change the end from LIGHTGRAY to WHITE, only the first couple lines appear white sometimes, others it appears as it should:

Appreciate any help, thanks

Re: [SOLVED] rxvt-unicode font color too dark

URxvt*foreground: rgba:aaaa/aaaa/aaaa/7777

I think this is your font color. Have you tried changing it?

XTerm*foreground: White

This one is for xterm so no wonder it doesn't do anything in urxvt.

Edit: Setting

urxvt.foreground:       #aaaaaa

does produce dark font, '#ffffff' gets me bright white, as expected.
