I'm not sure what you mean. What kind of condition?

Keep in mind that with color rules, order matters. Specifically, 
last-match wins. For example, to get all new mail green, no matter 
what, make the new mail rule last. i.e.:

     color index yellow default ~l
     color index green default ~N

Thus, list messages will only be yellow if they aren't new, because if 
they're new, they match both rules, and the last one wins.

Of course, you can always make complex patterns. For example:

     color index yellow default '~l ! ~N'

Does that help?
