So I think the standout/'inverse video' colors are set somewhere else, but I do not know where. That is the problem, and is confirmed by the fact that "tput smso" shows the same behaviour. (BTW, the normal, non-inverse-video, colors for a "Command Prompt" 'DOS' window are set in the Properties of that window, but there there are no settings for inverse-video.)
Gotcha. I missed that part.
OK. In my experience, you can set the fg/bg colors the way you want by modifying the system settings in the shortcut (right-click on window bar and modify properties there), or by using *bold colors* in your definitions. For some reason, in the win32 console \e[00;30m is grey and \e[01;30m is white.
