ok - in your followup to me, you have in your lynx.cfg

back to the original problem - your lynx configure options don't include
        --enable-default-colors
which is needed for the "default" color option to work as you intended.
Otherwise, ncurses 5.2 defaults to white-on-black, and lynx isn't
asking ncurses to modify that, since the call to assume_default_colors()
is contingent upon configuring to support default colors.

I didn't spot this on the first report, since the "good" picture looks
much like the normal black-on-white which lynx produces without the
default colors feature.  Instead, you had gotten it by using default
colors on top of dtterm's background (looks the same).
