Well, if you are building your own dialogs, you can embed color and highlighting
in the text with --colors.

To change default colors (and many other things) there seems to be a way,
but it's not obvious. First do this:

    dialog --create-rc ~/.dialogrc

You can then edit that file which I _think_ will let you change defaults as you
wish.
