Serhiy Storchaka  added the comment:

Good catch! And it is not only documentation issue now. Since color numbers and 
pair numbers use different range checks, this prevents using this function with 
pair numbers larger that COLORS (should be accepted up to COLOR_PAIRS-1).

Seems there is also other bug which prevents using pair number 0 (constant 
white on black).

New submission from Robert T McQuaid :

The description of color_pair starts with

curses.color_pair(color_number)

It should be

curses.color_pair(pair_number)
