man less
Reveals this
-Dxcolor or --color=xcolor
[MS-DOS only] Sets the color of the text displayed. x is a sinâ
gle character which selects the type of text whose color is
being set: n=normal, s=standout, d=bold, u=underlined, k=blink.
color is a pair of numbers separated by a period. The first
number selects the foreground color and the second selects the
background color of the text. A single number N is the same as
N.M, where M is the normal background color.
So I tried it and get this result
$ less --color
There is no color option ("less --help" for help)
I just want a way to change the colors on man pages. If this is not the right
way please advise.
