Hello,
Yes.

I found the default values in /usr/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color:
*VT100*color0: black
*VT100*color1: red3
*VT100*color2: green3
*VT100*color3: yellow3
*VT100*color4: blue3
*VT100*color5: magenta3
*VT100*color6: cyan3
*VT100*color7: gray90

To change the colors a bit, mainly color7 to a slightly darker
gray, I put the following lines in $HOME/.Xresources:
XTerm*VT100*color0: Black
XTerm*VT100*color1: Red
XTerm*VT100*color2: Green
XTerm*VT100*color3: Yellow
XTerm*VT100*color4: Blue
XTerm*VT100*color5: Magenta
XTerm*VT100*color6: Cyan
XTerm*VT100*color7: Gray85
I guess one could substitute these colors with any color name
found in /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt or by a numerical color
specification. After loading .Xresources, you can then use the
keywords color0,..., color7 in your .muttrc.
