The author of those screen shots didn't say what criteria he used
for coloring and I didn't see that he had posted his muttrc anywhere
on the site, so I don't know exactly what to suggest. Messages can
be colored according to criteria such as Subject, From address, and
whether they are from a known list. Take a look at these sections
of the mutt manual:
3.7 Using color and mono video attributes
4.2 Patterns

That one is easy. Add a line like this to your muttrc:
set pager_index_lines=7
