You can use simple patterns to color the index

For example, I have:
color index     brightyellow default ~P
to make messages sent by me yellow in the index.

Given that, you could probably use these two simple patterns, though
doesn't look like they can make use of $alternates directly.

       ~c EXPR     messages carbon-copied to EXPR
       ~t EXPR     messages addressed to EXPR

I am not sure if putting a complicated expression there would
significantly slow down loading the mssage inbox.
