use a terminal which understands that sequence.
(if this is dtterm then ditch it.  rxvt + xterm-color are
 quite good. see page in sig for a list of more terminals.)

this function works for me:
    st () { print -n "\E\"$*\E\134" }

and you may like this function:

  _colortest () {
    echo -n TEST1:
    for i in 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37
    do
            echo -n "\033[${i}mColor ${i}\033[39;49m "
    done
    echo
    echo -n TEST2:
    for i in 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97
    do
            echo -n "\033[${i}mColor ${i}\033[39;49m "
    done
    echo
  }

you can install your own version of screen for yourself.
