Anyone trying to help you will need some details.  Please read
http://cygwin.com/bugs.html for some guidelines.  Note that cygcheck output
should be sent as an attachment to minimize false hits on archive searches.

What happens when you try it?

I've used it under WinXP in a normal console window and the colors appeared
as expected.  I don't use rxvt, but that is another possibility.
