The uneven colors are more likely to be a problem with the
termcap/terminfo - mismatch wrt the emulator (but it's possible that
there's some other configuration issue, e.g., regular expression
coloring).
Without constructing the same setup it's hard to say. Other useful
information (that I don't recall from this thread):
the terminal emulator
the termcap/terminfo entry name
the version of mutt you're patching
your .muttrc (the colors and regular expression section)
