The viewer uses the same colors as the panels.  This should be fixed
eventually, but doing so would break large pieces of the existing
translations.

There is one undocumented color option "viewunderline" that sets the color
for "underlined" text in the viewer.  Try this:

mc --colors viewunderline=brightmagenta

Then press F2 + m and enter "mc".  You'll see some words highlighted by
the bright magenta color.  The rest of the colors only changes together
with the panels.
