What terminal emulator are you using? Almost all terminal emulators have
the option of configuring what colour is displayed(with very fine
granularity, for instance, using RGB colour codes) when an application
requests "blue"(or red, or green, or whatever).
I prefer this method over changing what colour Mutt requests. For many
terminal emulators, four or five colours are difficult to see using the
defaults. Instead of reducing the number of colours I let my
applications use, I just modify what the terminal emulator displays,
making them readable.
