I'm using the appended color scheme (mostly the original one, but links use
bright red/blue instead of the standard dark ones) and I like it much more
than the old one with the bright background. My console here is 100x40
chars with 56 Hz vertical refresh, so a bright background would produce too
much flicker and is definitely a no-no.

It is. Just put the following lines into /etc/lynx.cfg (the defaults are at
the end of the file):
COLOR:0:lightgray:black
COLOR:1:brightblue:black
COLOR:2:yellow:blue
COLOR:3:green:black
COLOR:4:magenta:black
COLOR:5:brightblue:black
COLOR:6:brightred:black
COLOR:7:magenta:cyan
BTW, yes, I agree that the defaults should be changed. Dark red/blue on
black is completely unreadable.
