no - sounds like a problem setting up lynx to recognize color (if you
don't specify --with-screen=ncurses or --with-screen=slang, it will
look for the default curses library, which may not support color), or
that your $TERM doesn't correspond to a terminal that supports color.

some of this is covered in my ncurses faq:

The current version of ncurses is 4.2 (5.0 in beta)
There's an faq at
