By default, mutt does not have default colors, it runs in mono. To 
verify:

  mutt -nF /dev/null

I'd say it'd be really strange if neither /etc/Muttrc nor .muttrc 
contained color statements _and_ you get colors. But remember that it 
uses the Muttrc from its prefix which is likely not /etc/Muttrc for 
custom builds.

E.g. I install in ~/opt/mutt so my system muttrc is not /etc/Muttrc but 
~/opt/mutt/etc/Muttrc.

HTH,
Rocco
