There is actually an (undocumented) mechanism to change the colours used
by any of the games. I wouldn't like to guarantee that it will always be
there. There may end up being a more user-friendly interface.

The mechanism involves setting environment variables. In your example,
this gives bolder colours (although I don't know if they suit you):

MAP_COLOUR_2=FF0000 MAP_COLOUR_3=00FF00 MAP_COLOUR_4=0000FF \
  MAP_COLOUR_5=FFFF00 map
