+     Show color        -   This option will be present if color support is
+                           available.  If set to ON or ALWAYS, color mode will
+                           be forced on if possible.  If (n)curses color
+                           support is available but cannot be used for the
+                           current terminal type, selecting ON is rejected
+                           with a message.  If set to OFF or NEVER, color mode
+                           will be turned off.
+                           ALWAYS and NEVER are not offered in anonymous
+                           accounts.  If saved to a '.lynxrc' file in
+                           non-anonymous accounts, ALWAYS will cause Lynx to
+                           set color mode on at startup if supported.  If Lynx
+                           is built with the slang library, this is equivalent
+                           to having included the -color command line switch
+                           or having the COLORTERM environment variable
+                           set. If color support is provided by curses or
+                           ncurses, this is equivalent to the default behavior
+                           of using color when the terminal type supports it.
+                           If (n)curses color support is available but cannot
+                           be used for the current terminal type, the
+                           preference can still be saved but will have no
+                           effect.
+                           A saved value of NEVER will cause Lynx to assume a
+                           monochrome terminal at startup.  It is similar to
+                           the -nocolor switch, but (when the slang library is
+                           used) can be overridden with the -color switch.
+                           If the setting is OFF or ON when the current
+                           options are saved to a '.lynxrc' file, the default
+                           startup behavior is retained, such that color mode
+                           will be turned on at startup only if the terminal
+                           info indicates that you have a color-capable
+                           terminal, or (when the slang library is used) if
+                           forced on via the -color switch or COLORTERM
+                           variable.  This default behavior always is used in
+                           anonymous accounts, or if the 'option'_save
+                           restriction is set explicitly.  If for any reason
+                           the startup color mode is incorrect for your
+                           terminal, set it appropriately on or off via this
