My TERM is also xterm-256color but however that won't matter because
looking at mutt-1.6.0/color.c

I see:

  #ifdef USE_SLANG_CURSES
  static char *get_color_name (char *dest, size_t destlen, int val)
  {
    static const char * const missing[3] = {"brown", "lightgray", "default"};
    int i;
  [...]
  #endif

and similar functions. So looks like "some" color functionality
depends on slang.

ismail
