man lynx:

       -lss=FILENAME
              specify   filename   containing  color-style  information.   The
              default is lynx.lss.  If you give an empty filename, Lynx uses a
              built-in  monochrome  scheme  which imitates the non-color-style
              configuration.

Once told to ignore the lss-file, you can use the COLOR-settings in the
lynx.cfg file.  Here's a quick example:

#!/bin/sh
export LYNX_CFG=/tmp/test/foo.cfg
lynx-dev -lss='' .

and (in /tmp/test):

include:lynx.cfg
COLOR:0:white:black
COLOR:1:white:black
COLOR:2:yellow:blue
COLOR:3:black:white
COLOR:4:black:white
COLOR:5:black:white
COLOR:6:black:white
COLOR:6:white:black
COLOR:7:black:white
