I have the normal mintty background set slightly off-white (to #F8F8F8) and mintty reports itself as xterm-256color (the same happens in when TERM is set to screen-256color). Emacs starts up with the correct background color, draws the status bar and the menu bar and only then switches the background to gray. The gray it choses is very slightly lighter than the status bar (so lightly in fact that I can make out the difference on only one of my three monitors). Emacs really thinks it is using a white background, as evidenced by the fact that (set-background-color "white") will produce exactly the same result. I get my usual background back with (set-background-color "#F8F8F8"), but I have no idea where the wrong setting for the named color "white" comes from. I'm just trying this at home remotely logging in from a konsole terminal on my Linux box: Here the background chosen is slightly darker than the status bar, the status bar seems to be #B8B8B8 and the background for "white seems to be #B4B4B4. Curious and curiouser...
