Customize `less' colors to look like `most'

[Sebastien Vauban <sva-news at mygooglest dot com>]

Hello,

I've tried to copy all sort of color schemes to try and get colors in
the man pages -- for example, like what `most' does by default.

I've never been successful to get something like
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10535432/tmux-man-page-search-highlighting
to highlight man pages, even with the given LESS_TERMCAP_* given in
example.

What am I missing?

Here is the relevant part of my .zshrc:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
PAGER="less"

# Colored man pages:
# http://linuxtidbits.wordpress.com/2009/03/23/less-colors-for-man-pages/
export LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$'\E[01;31m'     # enter_blink_mode
export LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\E[01;38;5;74m' # enter_bold_mode
export LESS_TERMCAP_so=$'\E[38;5;016m\E[48;5;220m' # enter_standout_mode
export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[04;38;5;146m' # enter_underline_mode
export LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\E[0m'         # exit_attribute_mode
export LESS_TERMCAP_se=$'\E[0m'         # exit_standout_mode
export LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\E[0m'         # exit_underline_mode

# tailoring `less'
LESS="--quit-at-eof --ignore-case --long-prompt --raw-control-chars"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And here is my .minttyrc:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
BoldAsColour=yes
BoldAsFont=no
Font=Consolas
FontHeight=10
RightClickAction=paste
Rows=43
ScrollbackLines=100000
Term=xterm-256color
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards,
  Seb
