i believe there was a topic about that some time ago, but i cannot search in the forum for "less". i believe for security reasons.
does anybody have a link? or am i going wrong?

What do you want to know exactly? How to alter the colors used by less, how to make less use colors, or how to buy color for less money?

Use 'less -R'. You might want to also update that in the various places in /etc/*.
