[PLUG] Text color issue

My urxvt windows have a medium blue background. Sometimes text is displayed
in dark blue (DIR_COLORS #34). I'd like to change that but I don't find 34
as a text color in my version of /etc/DIR_COLORS:
# Text color codes:
# 30=black 31=red 32=green 33=yellow 34=blue 35=magenta 36=cyan 37=white
NORMAL 00      # global default, although everything should be something.
FILE 00        # normal file
# RESET 0        # reset to "normal" color
DIR 01;33      # directory
LINK 01;36     # symbolic link. (If you set this to 'target' instead of a
                # numerical value, the color is as for the file pointed to.)
# HARDLINK 44;37  # regular file with more than one link
FIFO 40;33     # pipe
SOCK 01;35     # socket
DOOR 01;35     # door
BLK 40;33;01   # block device driver
CHR 40;33;01   # character device driver
ORPHAN 40;31;01 # symlink to nonexistent file
SETUID 37;41   # file that is setuid (u+s)
SETGID 30;43   # file that is setgid (g+s)
CAPABILITY 30;41        # file with capability
STICKY_OTHER_WRITABLE 30;42 # dir that is sticky and other-writable (+t,o+w)
OTHER_WRITABLE 34;42 # dir that is other-writable (o+w) and not sticky
STICKY 37;44   # dir with the sticky bit set (+t) and not other-writable
EXEC 01;32     # This is for files with execute permission:

One string that has this color issue is:
![alt](//via.placeholder.com/640x150)
(the string in parentheses is dark blue on the medium blue v.t. and not
!readable)
and I don't know how this string would be classified.

I don't see what I could change to get a visual color for strings like this.

Ideas?

Rich
