excerpts from 'man muttrc':
###
color object foreground background [ regexp ]
color index foreground background [ pattern ]
uncolor index pattern [ pattern ... ]
If your terminal supports color, these commands can be used to
assign foreground/background combinations to certain objects.
Valid objects are: attachment, body, bold, header, hdrdefault,
index, indicator, markers, message, normal, quoted, quotedN,
search, signature, status, tilde, tree, underline. The body and
header objects allow you to restrict the colorization to a regu‐
lar expression. The index object permits you to select colored
messages by pattern.
Valid colors include: white, black, green, magenta, blue, cyan,
yellow, red, default, colorN.

then proceed to read what 'man muttrc' has to say about patterns:
###
Constructing Patterns
A simple pattern consists of an operator of the form “~character”, pos‐
sibly followed by
(...)
Simple Patterns
Mutt understands the following simple patterns:
~A all messages
~b EXPR messages which contain EXPR in the message body.
=b STRING messages which contain STRING in the message body. If IMAP
(...)
~p messages addressed to you (as defined by alternates)
~P messages from you (as defined by alternates)

and an example from my muttrc:
###
color index brightgreen default "~p | ~P "
