It is the most hideous combination of... well you've seen it, too.
How do I change it?

It's quite easy. You get a copy of the source, edit (I forget which file),
and then recompile. Seriously, that's the only way (except maybe patching
the executable or modifying your palette). And while you're at it you
can modify the defaults for shiftwidth, showmode, ignorecase, etc.

One thing that I've found, colors that look fine on one brand of monitor
may look terrible on another.

Elvis 1.5 (I have a pre-release copy) allows setting the color in the
elvis.rc file.  I'm not sure when 1.5 will be released, but you may
E-mail the author to find out...
