I infer from the following passage in the manual that mutt has support
for more than 16 colors:

   Mutt also recognizes the keywords color0, color1, ..., colorN-1 (N
   being the number of colors supported by your terminal).  This is
   useful when you remap the colors for your display (for example by
   changing the color associated with color2 for your xterm), since color
   names may then lose their normal meaning.
