It's more complicated than this.  I've tried all six of the following
combinations.  The 1.0pre4/slang configurations accept "default" as a
color, and the 1.0 releases do not.  COLORFGBG is set under all.

        1.0pre4 ncurses-5.0     error
        1.0pre4 slang-1.2.2     ok
        1.0pre4 slang-1.3.9     ok
        1.0     ncurses-5.0     error
        1.0     slang-1.2.2     error
        1.0     slang-1.3.9     error
