Manual:color.lua
From DoomRL Wiki
In console mode all game objects are associated with a color. While these are automatically set on a per-object basis there is a configuration file--colors.lua--which allows you to customize them to your own preferences.

Customizing colors
To customize an object you will need that object's id or color_id. Once you have the id add it to the colors.lua file!
Colors = { --This is a cell. Cells have both a light color (the cell is visible) --and a dark color (the cell is out of vision). --For cells the proper syntax is [id]_dark = COLOR and [id]_light = COLOR floor_dark = GREEN, floor_light = BLUE, --These are items and beings. --The proper syntax for non-cells is [id] = COLOR former = RED, ammo = YELLOW, --This is a lava lever. Perhaps you think you can distinguish -- between different lever types by color. Think again! lever_flood_lava = RED, --Doesn't work! lever = RED, --Makes ALL levers red }
