I run elinks on a 256-capable xterm. I have found that you can toggle three color schemes via the % keyboard action - this is apparently meant to improve readability for certain web pages/sites.
The default color scheme in my setup has a light background and appears to do its best to render pages as closely as possible to what the page specifies. If I press % I have access to two more color schemes with a dark background. The main difference between these two appears to be that one uses only the 8/16 basic colors while the other uses the extended color capabilities of the underlying xterm (?) Are these aspects documented? In mozilla for instance I have access to a palette of ~70 colors that I can use to colorize the different text components on a web page - such as make unvisited links some shade of blue.. visited links some shade of red etc. Elinks appears to have a different philosophy. Apart from the "%" that lets you switch between three pre-established color schemes I didn't find anything in the menus that would let you change colors on the fly - when text is not very legible for instance, such as a light grey on a white background for instance.. I am aware of the color.html test page that comes with the package but that only confirmed my suspicion that I might not be using all the capabilities of Elinks's enhanced color mode. Apologies for the vagueness of my questions.. Any pointers welcome.
