There is more work to be done but I have mutt looking pretty similar to the default slrn colors now after help from various people (thank you) and some experimenting.

In case anyone can use it, here it is # Colorize as much as possible like slrn defaults color hdrdefault brightcyan black color quoted red black color signature red black color attachment red black color message brightred black color error brightred black color indicator brightyellow blue color status brightyellow blue color tree white black color normal white black color markers red black color search white black color tilde brightmagenta black color index blue black ~F color index brightwhite black "~N|~O" -- ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) Powered by Lemote Fuloong against HTML e-mail X Loongson MIPS and OpenBSD and proprietary / \ http://www.mutt.org attachments Code Blue or Go Home!
