Where do I have to take a look at in the system to colorize the man pages?
The man pages are viewed with less, so I tried adding the following lines to my .bashrc to change the colors: (Which works fine, btw.)
#
# L E S S C O L O R S F O R M A N P A G E S
#
# CHANGE FIRST NUMBER PAIR FOR COMMAND AND FLAG COLOR
# currently 0;33 a.k.a. brown, which is dark yellow for me
export LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\E[0;33;5;74m' # begin bold
# CHANGE FIRST NUMBER PAIR FOR PARAMETER COLOR
# currently 0;36 a.k.a. cyan
export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[0;36;5;146m' # begin underline
# don't change anything here
export LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$'\E[1;31m' # begin blinking
export LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\E[0m' # end mode
export LESS_TERMCAP_se=$'\E[0m' # end standout-mode
export LESS_TERMCAP_so=$'\E[38;5;246m' # begin standout-mode - info box
export LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\E[0m' # end underline

To my shame I have to admit that I did not find out what the second number pair meant, i.e. the 5;74
and the 5;146
.
Can someone clarify that further?
