Apart from the 'unreadable' part, which is purely a personal preference
(I for example cannot stand black on white, ala Windows), if you want
mutt not to use any color, then simply start it with a TERM environment
variable that doesn't support color.  For many terminals this will do:

        TERM=vt100 mutt -R

Or—better but more complicated—recompile mutt without support for color.
