The background color is the default background color of your terminal.
It sucks if you are on a default white background xterm but works well if you are on a black background terminal.
that you are experiencing is a software color philosophy difference. I personally hate white backgrounds because they hurt my eyes over time but the default color coded scheme for the terminal is impossible to read with a black background. In addition every admin I've ever worked with and the hundreds of people I've talked with in user groups who don't run X11 on their servers hate it too. Do what every one else does change it to your liking and deploy the changes to all if your hosts.

Is anybody else out there trying to use lynx in SL6.3? When I bring it
up, the text for url links comes up as yellow on a white background, and
is pretty much invisible. This wasn't the case in SL5.5. I know how to
fix the problem for my own use, but lynx shouldn't come up unusable by
default. Before I try reporting it as a bug to the packagers, I want to
be sure it happens to other people too, and isn't due to some
idiosyncracy of my own setup. Anyone?
