Hi, I'm the author of Nyx and was just notified about Debian bug 998852. The sample nyxrc comes from me...
https://gitweb.torproject.org/nyx.git/tree/web/nyxrc.sample And from what I can tell the reporter's interpretation of color_override is incorrect (as discussed on https://github.com/torproject/nyx/issues/39). This Debian ticket can be closed and if the reporter has further issues they should open a GitGub ticket with me to discuss it.
