Dumb GRUB question


I guess it's just because I'm picky...

The COLOR command in my menu.lst file for GRUB doesn't seem to be working correctly. I wanted the background black with white text, and the highlight to be a red background with White text. Here's my menu.lst:

Code:
default=0
timeout=10
color white/black white/red
splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/DJBarcode.xpm.gz
title Windoze 2000
        root (hd0,)
        makeactive
        chainloader +1
                                                                                
title Red Hat Linux
        root (hd1,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-18.9 ro root=LABEL=/
        initrd /initrd-2.4.20-18.9.img
When I boot the PC, the background is black and the text is white, but the highlight color doesn't work properly. That is also white text on a black background, and the only way I know which OS is highlighted is by a white "cursor" on the right side of the menu. I've even tried omitting the white/red part off the end of the command, as the documentation says that if it's omitted GRUB will automatically use reverse video.

Am I missing something st00pid here?
