Description
The next skin:
[core]
_default_=lightgray;gray
gives black background in place of gray.
But in this variant:
[core]
_default_=lightgray;red
skin gives correct red background.
I test this under "plain" console in Slackware 13.0 in xterm, ROXTerm and Terminal.

mc must give some error message if it can't set gray background.

By the way: what about ncurses? It can work with 256 colors AFAIK.

Does mc can use 256 colors if ncurses compiled with --enable-ext-colors option?

I speak with John E. Davis in slang-users mail list about color support in s-lang. S-lang supports 256 colors. John give excellent hint. 256-color mode requires
export TERM="xterm-256color"
command. With this command mc can show normal gray background! It works if mc compiled with s-lang. It does not work if mc compiled with ncurses.
In according with http://www.s-lang.org/doc/html/cslang.html#toc8.4, gray color is not supported as background one.
