the problem is that "black" is an explicit color, and if the terminal doesn't
do back-color-erase (bce), then the (n)curses/slang library will paint cells
that are black. If you chose "default" and used mutt linked appropriately
with ncurses/slang, then it could clear the background rather than paint it.
I'm using this (xterm is set to white characters on a black background):
color hdrdefault red default
color quoted brightblue default
color signature red default
color indicator brightyellow red
color error brightred default
color status yellow blue
color tree magenta default # the thread tree in the index menu
color tilde magenta default
color message brightcyan default
color markers brightcyan default
color attachment brightmagenta default
color search default green # how to hilite search patterns in the pager
color header brightred default ^(From|Subject):
color body magenta default "(ftp|http)://[^ ]+" # point out URLs
color body magenta default [-a-z_0-9.]+@[-a-z_0-9.]+ # e-mail addresses
color underline brightgreen default

xtermc corresponds to a terminal emulator which afaik isn't in use anymore.
neither does bce.
