Hi,
Dosbox does not seem to support 16 background colors for text in EGA mode.
The BIOS video interrupt INT 10H 1003H allows to disable the foreground color blinking, which should enable 16 colors for the background.
This works for VGA, CGA (with another way), but not in EGA.
Any idea what's going on?

Disabling blinking does not work on the EGA machine type in 0.74(-3), but it is corrected in SVN. The brown (low intensity yellow) color is also corrected in SVN, in case that would be your next question.
