You don't actually say if you set any colour options in ~/.muttrc. Have you
actually told mutt what colours you want it to use?
Also, the last time I looked, RedHat did ship with a mutt that was capable
of displaying colour. Also, if you're downloading and building your own mutt
then the distribution of Linux shouldn't matter at all. I'm running a "hand
compiled" mutt on a RedHat box, have been since RedHat 5.1 (and before that
on Slackware since around 1997) and I get glorious colour.
Concentrate less on operating system distributions and more on what you've
doing to get mutt to use the colours you desire.
