OpenBSD switched to its own version of man(1) a while back (it's called "mandoc", previously "mdocml" [0]). mandoc's own documentation is excellent and, if it supports color at all, it's likely documented in its own manpage (and also probably on its homepage). Note that if you're using the OpenBSD vtty (via wscons(4), at least), the default $TERM is `vt100`, which does not support color (beyond the cyan used to render italic text). I've had some luck setting $TERM to `vt220` to get more colors. In an xterm or something, this shouldn't be an issue. An alternative would be to install some other version of `man` (you'll probably also need `groff` from ports, though some other implementation of troff/nroff might also work). Frankly, though, I haven't seen colorized manpages before, so I'm not sure what else to tell you. [0]: http://mdocml.bsd.lv/ http://mdocml.bsd.lv/
