What happens if you run this:

echo (set_color -b blue white)hello(set_color normal)

We're probably going to need a better description of the problem; possibly
including screen shots.

On any color terminal I've used  (i.e., excluding B&W terminals like a DEC
VT100) that produces the word hello in white text on a blue background.
Keep in mind that most modern terminal emulators (including the one I use
most often: iTerm2 on Mac OS X) allow customizing the color displayed when
an ANSI X3.64 SGR sequence is received (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code). So you can get unexpected
results if you've changed the colors the terminal uses when it receives a
given "set color" command.
