"Inactive text" does not exist as a separate colour (there's only one editbox text colour, whether active or inactive). mIRC tells you what options are available by drawing a dotted frame around any item you click in the Color dialog. As you can find out, there is no frame drawn around "Inactive" alone - it's drawn around the entire editbox that contains that word. Another clue that "Inactive" refers to the background is simply its name: it's not called "Inactive text" (like "Editbox text").
