Curses 应用抛出 _curses.error：init_pair() 返回 ERR

Question

I have a problem whenever i run my curses application,it always runs fine on windows(thanks to windows-curses module) and other Linux Distros,but since i have Garuda Linux installed i want to run the app on it.but the problem is,whenever i run the app it yields the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/justaus3r/Desktop/Programming/Python/Projects/ANFU/Anfu.py", line 564, in <module>
    curses.wrapper(Main)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/curses/__init__.py", line 94, in wrapper
    return func(stdscr, *args, **kwds)
  File "/home/justaus3r/Desktop/Programming/Python/Projects/ANFU/Anfu.py", line 330, in Main
    curses.init_pair(69, curses.COLOR_MAGENTA, -1)
_curses.error: init_pair() returned ERR

i have tried it with different terminals like xterm and Alacritty.it throws the same error,does my code has some problems or the module isn't compatible with Garuda Linux.any help is appreciated
