    man less

Reveals this

    -Dxcolor or --color=xcolor
           [MS-DOS only] Sets the color of the text displayed.  x is a sin‐
           gle character which selects the type  of  text  whose  color  is
           being  set: n=normal, s=standout, d=bold, u=underlined, k=blink.
           color is a pair of numbers separated by  a  period.   The  first
           number  selects  the foreground color and the second selects the
           background color of the text.  A single number N is the same  as
           N.M, where M is the normal background color.

So I tried it and get this result

    $ less --color
    There is no color option ("less --help" for help)

I just want a way to change the colors on man pages. If this is not the right
way please advise.
