Eric Smith proclaimed on mutt-users that:
>Is it possible to have mutt recognise more than the "standard" colors.
>Like I can get vim to display all the colors like lightblue or darkcyan
>etc?
Take a look at this - scarfed from an old post on mutt-users. Tim, if
you;re reading this - I _love_ your color settings ...

# I'm interested in messages containing the word 'parport' in the body,
# especially if they don't come from the linux-parport list (those are
# the hard ones to spot). So colour them green. I love mutt. ;-)
color index brightgreen default '!(~B owner-linux-parport) ~b parport'
# Hmm, pine can do this better..
# I want different people's text to appear in different colours. So
# the colour depends on the number of times it's been quoted..

color body red default "^ *> *>.*" # quoted quoted
