Yes you are missing something.

Blinking is a foreground attribute

include graphics.e
integer fg, bg, bright, blinking,
--fg = foreground
--bg = background

fg = WHITE
bg = BLUE

bright = 8
blinking = 16

clear_screen()
text_color(fg)
bk_color(bg)
puts(1, "White on Blue")

while get_key() = -1 do
end while

fg = fg + bright
text_color(fg)
puts(1, "Bright White on Blue")

while get_key() = -1 do
end while

fg = fg + blinking
text_color(fg)
puts(1, "Blinking Bright White on Blue")

--If you turn on intensity then you have
--Bright White on Bright Blue
