A quick look into dircolors.vim discovers this at line 488:

        elseif &t_Co == 256 || has("gui_running")
          hi def    dircolorsColor0     ctermfg=0   guifg=Black
        
Without knowing anything about vim scripting this looks to me as if the
foreground colour for "00" is set to black, regardless of the current
background colour. The funny part is that white is also used as a
foreground colour in line 504, so this syntax file will hardly display
everything correctly in any case unless I get it wrong. Let's just
assume I get it completely wrong. :-)
