+If you want to see some example rc files, check in the [[https://invisible-island.net/dialog/#download|source code]] in a directory called ''samples/''. For example ''whiptail.rc''. Screenshots are available at [[https://invisible-island.net/dialog/dialog-figures.html#list_colors]]. Refer to the file ''dlg_colors.h'' in the source code for a list of available colors. There aren't a ton, but it looks like there is:
+  * ''BLACK''
+  * ''WHITE''
+  * ''CYAN''
+  * ''BLUE''
+  * ''YELLOW''
+  * ''RED''
+Also make sure ''use_color = ON'' and not OFF.
 To override the default rc filename, set a ''DIALOGRC'' environment variable to specify the file you want to use.
+Here is a sample ''.dialogrc'' file that has DevDungeon-ish themed colors:
