You mean you couldn't reproduce the same colors for the "mode line" as
in my screenshot?

Those colors come from the following definition (copy/paste'd from
somewhere -- not so readeable to me):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
export LESS_TERMCAP_so=$'\E[38;5;016m\E[48;5;220m' # enter_standout_mode
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Though, _my_ problem is to get colors for all the other elements (what's
bold, underlined, etc.).

Best regards,
  Seb
