I've tried a few experiments.
In lynx.cfg I uncommented and modified the following line:
COLOR:1:black:white
Result: no change, still got reverse vidoe on all links.
2) So I tried
COLOR:1:white:black
Result: same
3) Next I tried
COLOR:1:black:blcak
Result: no change...hmmmm, I'm still getting reverse video
that is, white background with black text no matter what I set
the foreground or background to.
Just to be sure that I was modifying the right lynx.cfg file I
set VI_KEYS_+ALWAYS_ON to false.
Result: vi key cursor control stopped.
Next I went to the ncurses installation node and tried the
ncurses command to examine character attributes. Bold was bold,
reverse was reverse.
I remain mystified.
One question that comes to mind: Why doesn't changing the lynx.cfg
color settings modify the appearance of the screen?
In all cases I was running without a .lynxrc file so lynx was
not picking up any local options.
