The BL3 xterm is actually rxvt.  Have you tried a Slackware 4 xterm?

Someone else using Puppy Linux had a color support problem.  COLORS=0 
COLOR_PAIRS=0 Checking for enough colors... failed
Puppy linux appears to also use rxvt.

I think it needs 256 colors (8-bit).  You can compile rxvt with this color 
support.  Maybe BL3's rxvt does not have it?

configure --enable-256-color (but this is for Cygwin rxvt)

You can report problems with the front end to Daniel Reed maintainer 
(colors, buddy windows, .naimrc).  Or subscribe to the mailing list.

Is this the latest version of naim?  They fixed some bug having to do with 
ncurses and colors in 0.11.7.2.
