Thanks Thomas, I can confirm this to be working.
For the people reading this in the archives, here is what to do: I
used
infocmp xterm-16color > xterm-16color
cp xterm-16color xterm-16color2
to get a source representation of xterm-16color, edited
the ncv attribute away, compiled it with tic to
xterm-16color2.
tic xterm-16color2
TERM=xterm-16color2 gives me my colors back in mutt.
