Agree on B!

You can change the colours of course.

http://www.understudy.net/custom.html#table2

shows the colour codes.

I changed mine to this:

man() {
        env \
                LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$(printf "\033[1;34m") \
                LESS_TERMCAP_md=$(printf "\033[1;34m") \
                LESS_TERMCAP_me=$(printf "\033[0m") \
                LESS_TERMCAP_se=$(printf "\033[0m") \
                LESS_TERMCAP_so=$(printf "\033[1;44;33m") \
                LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$(printf "\033[0m") \
                LESS_TERMCAP_us=$(printf "\033[0;35m") \
                        man "$@"
}

in ~/.kshrc
