What kind of option is 'COLORFGBG'? Is it a specific mutt-option or
an option for the console or xterm environment?

In my $HOME/.mutt/.muttrc file I use the following color-settings:
-----------------------> cut here <------------------------ -
#
## color terminals:
# (default, white, black, green, magenta, blue, cyan, yellow, red)
# (bright...)
# (color1,color2,...,colorN-1)
#
# object foreground background
#
color normal default default # normal text
color indicator brightyellow red # actual message
color tree brightmagenta default # thread arrows
color status brightgreen blue # status line
color error brightred default # errors
color message red default # info messages
[...]
-----------------------> cut here <------------------------ -
On my box is working 'mutt-1.1i'.
bye - Wilhelm
