Comment (by dcrossley@…):

 I had already tried to go back to a minimal configuration and basic
 colours. So i did it again today. I could not find that colors.linux file
 in /opt/... so got it directly from source control for the mutt-1-4-stable
 branch in the contrib directory.

 However it exhibits the same trouble. Everything is white-on-black.

 One interesting observation: In the "index" screen, the "indicator" does
 have its proper colours. In the "pager" screen only, the "status" has its
 proper colours.
 Then i got a completely fresh minimal muttrc using
 http://muttrcbuilder.org/ (many thanks). However, the same trouble.

 Then i commented-out absolutely all color definitions, and started
 bringing them back one-by-one.

 Aha, found the culprit. It is the definition for "color normal".

 If that is commented-out, then all colours show properly! If it is defined
 as anything (e.g. "default default", or "green black") then it causes all
 others (except "indicator" and "status" to chuck a wobbly.
