For the plain slang version or the (wondrous) styles version? ;-) With
the plain slang, there's very little fine-grain colour customisation you
can do. You can say that colour 1=red (which will apply to links or
something) but the plain slang version is merely a curses-style to
slang-colour translator; eg bold=>red, bold+underline=>blue, etc.
My styles patch is altogether more configurable, down to individual elements.
(class support a la CSS coming soon, full CSS support hopefully sometime
in the future)

Yes, if I come up with a sensible mapping from the 16 ncurses colours to
the 24 bit colour schemes that are allowed. Also assuming that I can
code something to avoid light purple on dark purple being magenta on
magenta (I read Klaus's mail before replying to this, I'm not psychic).
