default system-wide configuration should use "default", not "black"

[Forest Bond]

The default system-wide configuration file (/etc/Muttrc) specifies a color scheme that uses "black" for the background. It would be nicer to use "default" for the background, since using "black" breaks gnome-terminal's transparency features.

To fix, simply s/black/default

Correction: fix should not change line:

color indicator black cyan

If this line is changed, currently selected items become more difficult to read.

You can always work around this by adding:
color normal white default

To your muttrc file.
