Well, I don't know about all versions of Rxvt, but on Rxvt-XPM v2.19.3 (I'm
on my Solaris box now but I built the same on my FreeBSD box months ago),
here's the relevent, working section from my Rxvt class resource file:

*color0:  Black
*color1:  Red
*color2:  Green
*color3:  Yellow
!*color4:  Blue
*color4:  MidnightBlue
*color5:  Magenta
*color6:  Cyan
*color7:  White

You might do a:

strings rxvt | grep -i ^rxvt

and verify that the classname wasn't hacked in the FreeBSD port.
