I'm not sure what the COLORFGBG is, so I tried:

    <mrxvt terminal: black text on white background>
    COLORFGBG="dark;light"       emacs -Q -q -nw ~/tmp/test.el
    COLORFGBG="light;dark"       emacs -Q -q -nw ~/tmp/test.el
    COLORFGBG="default;default"  emacs -Q -q -nw ~/tmp/test.el

with same results as in previously attached picture. No change.
