Just start it with "mc -c" and it will be in color.  Using rxvt this
is default behaviour.  It is well documented and if you type "mc -h"
you will be shown all commandline parameters:

The Midnight Commander 4.1.3
Usage is:

mc [-abCcdfhklmPstuUVvx?] [other_panel_dir] [this-dir]

-C <keyword>=<fore>,<back> Color usage keywords:
   normal, selected, marked, markselect, errors, reverse

   menusel, menuhotsel.   colors: black, red, green, brightgreen, brown,
   yellow, blue, brightblue, magenta, brightmagenta,
   cyan, brightcyan, lightgray and white
