elvis does a good job with the colors, and you can have it default to
showing source for html with a few commands in your ~/.exrc file.
(i use telnet over my local behind-the-firewall intranet.)
:disp syntax
or
:di sy
for short, toggles between HTML browsing and HTML source.
just try
:disp
by itself to see all your options.
plus, elvis can munge the ':cc' feature for c syntax checking,
for use as a perl syntax checker!
set ts=4 sw=4
set ai
if knownsyntax(filename) == "perl"
then set ccprg="perl -c ($1?$1:$2) |& /usr/local/sbin/elvisperl"
now,
:cc
checks your perl scripts and jumps to the problem line!

elvis shows colors, just fine!
