Try, e.g., set_color ("menu", "color27", "color39");

I have no idea what the colors "color27" and "color39" actually
represent.  You will have to set those as xterm resources.  The xterm
man page states:

       color16 (class Color16)

       through

       color255 (class Color255)
               These specify the colors  for  the  256-color  extension.   The
               default resource values are for colors 16 through 231 to make a
               6x6x6 color  cube,  and  colors  232  through  255  to  make  a
               grayscale ramp.


I hope this helps.
