I have the following in my .muttrc:
color normal brightwhite black
The consequence is that almost all colors are bright. To reproduce the bug:
mutt -F /dev/null
then type:
:color index blue green .
You can see that the behavior is correct (index is blue over green). Then type:
:color normal brightwhite black
No changes. But after typing Ctrl-L, one can see that all colors are bright except the current index line and the status bar (near the bottom).
This is an important problem as on some LCD screens, some combinations of colors (in particular bright colors) are not readable with some angles.
This bug may be related to bug 1259.
