I'm assuming this is with the recent version of ncurses (patches since
December) - which has the assume_default_colors() function. I did this
change about a month ago, and _thought_ I had it working properly (though
I'll double-check anyway).

It _should_ be the COLOR:0 value in lynx.cfg (but I just had a thought that
perhaps my long-ago logic to coordinate that with ncurses's color pair #0
might be the problem that you are seeing. (Lynx assigns the normal text
to another color pair number to avoid letting the curses library force
its colors to the terminal's default foreground/background).
But try making that
COLOR:0:default:default
(I'll look at this closer tonight)
