Hello BillLee
This is some code from a long time ago. Dont use C much anymore. If you're not using C this might not help. I hope it does though.
Code:
int
StartColors ()
{
  start_color ();

  init_pair (0, COLOR_WHITE, COLOR_BLACK);
  init_pair (1, COLOR_CYAN, COLOR_BLACK);
  init_pair (2, COLOR_WHITE, COLOR_BLUE);
  init_pair (3, COLOR_WHITE, COLOR_BLACK);
  init_pair (4, COLOR_WHITE, COLOR_RED);
  init_pair (5, COLOR_BLACK, COLOR_GREEN);
  /*
  init_pair (0, COLOR_WHITE, COLOR_BLACK);
  init_pair (DIR_NORM, COLOR_CYAN, COLOR_BLACK);
  init_pair (DIR_HI, COLOR_BLUE, COLOR_WHITE);
  init_pair (FIL_NORM, COLOR_WHITE, COLOR_BLACK);
  init_pair (FIL_HI, COLOR_RED, COLOR_WHITE);
  init_pair (5, COLOR_BLACK, COLOR_GREEN);
  init_pair (6, COLOR_MAGENTA, COLOR_BLACK);
  init_pair (7, COLOR_BLUE, COLOR_CYAN);
  init_pair (8, COLOR_RED, COLOR_BLACK);
  init_pair (9, COLOR_BLUE, COLOR_CYAN);
  init_pair (10, COLOR_GREEN, COLOR_BLACK);
  init_pair (12, COLOR_CYAN, COLOR_BLACK);
  init_pair (13, COLOR_BLUE, COLOR_WHITE);
  init_pair (14, COLOR_YELLOW, COLOR_CYAN);
  init_pair (15, COLOR_WHITE, COLOR_BLUE);
  init_pair (16, COLOR_YELLOW, COLOR_CYAN);
  init_pair (17, COLOR_BLUE, COLOR_WHITE);
  init_pair (18, COLOR_YELLOW, COLOR_RED);
  init_pair (19, COLOR_YELLOW, COLOR_BLACK);
  */

  return (0);
}



int
WbkgdSet (WINDOW * w, chtype c)
{
  if (has_colors ())
    {
      wbkgdset (w, c);
    }
  else
    {
      c &= ~A_BOLD;
      if (c == COLOR_PAIR (1) ||
      c == COLOR_PAIR (2) ||
      c == COLOR_PAIR (3) || c == COLOR_PAIR (4) || c == COLOR_PAIR (5))
    {

      wattrset (w, A_REVERSE);
    }
      else
    {
      wattrset (w, 0);
    }
    }
}
