        setterm --foreground white --bold --background blue --blank 59 --store

produces nearly the same error message:

        setterm: argument error: --background

Note that the argument the message apparently applies to is neither first
nor last.

Only this works:

setterm --foreground white  --background blue --bold on

I can't imagine that working. Logically speaking, that should be bolding the background, not the foreground.

You need to put the relevant color the the proper place, I think it's
order dependant:

What I've been using worked for well over a decade.

  "--foreground white"

  "--background blue"

I think what's order dependent is a bug in the rewrite to require the double hyphen where previously a single did the job. I tried this:

	setterm --background blue --foreground white --bold --blank 59 --store

That moved the error:

	setterm: argument error: --blank
