Kermit lets you set your normal foreground and background (and underscore
simulation) colors that apply to ordinary text. Other effects are
accomplished by the host application. In your case, it sounds like the
application is sending explicit coloration escape sequences. If the host
says "color this field blue", it'll be blue, no matter what your fore- and
background colors are.
You do have some slight degree of control, however, in that you can choose
whether the foreground color is to be bright (bold) or normal:
SET TERMINAL COLOR 3x 4x ; Normal
SET TERMINAL COLOR 1 3x 4x ; Bright
Maybe specifying (or not specifying) "bright" will make the difference.
