This (optional) section defines the colors BibDB uses, when a color screen is
used. The format in this environment is
\colors{ main{<Color>} topmenu{<Normal>,<Highlight>,<Bright>} menu{<Normal>,<Highlight>,<Bright>} message{<Normal>,<Highlight>} error{<Normal>,<Highlight>} entry{<Normal>,<Highlight>,<EditBorder>} edit{<Normal>,<Highlight>,<Mark>} list{<Normal>,<Highlight>,<Bright>} dialog{<Normal>,<Cursor>,<Highlight>} pattern{<Normal>,<Highlight>,<Window>} monochrome color }
Each one of the items in < >
consists of a pair of colors: a foreground color and a background color.
Each color may be specified either by its number or by its name. The
characters `<', `>', `(', ), spaces and the word
`on' may be used as spacers, to enhance the readability of the file.
The available colors are given in Table .

The meaning of the various fields are as follows:
The program will revert to monochrome in the following circumstances: If BibDB detects a monochrome monitor, if the word ``monochrome'' appears in the ``colors'' section, or if the option ``/mono'' appears in the command line. It will go to `color' mode if a color screen is detected, the word ``color'' appears in the ``colors'' section, or the option ``/color'' appears in the command line. In any case, a flag given on the command line supersedes the one given in the configuration file. In color mode, the program will use either the colors defined in the ``colors'' environment, or the default colors defined internally if the ``colors'' environment is missing.
