 - Command: color normal [highlight]
     Change the menu colors. The color NORMAL is used for most lines in
     the menu (Note: Menu interface), and the color HIGHLIGHT is used
     to highlight the line where the cursor points. If you omit
     HIGHLIGHT, then the inverted color of NORMAL is used for the
     highlighted line. The format of a color is
     `FOREGROUND/BACKGROUND'. FOREGROUND and BACKGROUND are symbolic
     color names. A symbolic color name must be one of these:

        * black

        * blue

        * green

        * cyan

        * red

        * magenta

        * brown

        * light-gray

          *These below can be specified only for the foreground.*

        * dark-gray

        * light-blue

        * light-green

        * light-cyan

        * light-red

        * light-magenta

        * yellow

        * white

     But only the first eight names can be used for BACKGROUND. You can
     prefix `blink-' to FOREGROUND if you want a blinking foreground
     color.

     This command can be used in the configuration file and on the
     command line, so you may write something like this in your
     configuration file:

          # Set default colors.
          color light-gray/blue black/light-gray
          
          # Change the colors.
          title OS-BS like
          color magenta/blue black/magenta
