This is the syntax you're probably looking for:
color index yellow default '~l'
color index brightyellow default '~N ~l'
I ran into a problem while testing this. If I put these statements in
the opposite order, all list messages come out yellow, even if they are
new. The reason must be that all color-index commands are scanned for
matches, and a new, list message matches BOTH patterns, and the later
one applies. So put the more specific pattern last, and it now works
the way you want it to.
Also, the pattern needs to be quoted if it has more than one element.
Actually, quoting patterns seems to be always a good idea in .muttrc.
