For those who have interest in this thread, here are the notes I have
collected so far:
Discovered that formatting documentation is in the main Documentation
page at "Special file filetypes.common"
Start w/ Ralesk's MC, as it seems to do best about showing searches
and selections, etc.
Use the HTML Color Picker at: https://colorpicker.me/
This one will display the color for a hex code, and also shows the
hex code for a color.
Select the file: ~/.config/geany/colorschemes/mc.conf:
First, save the file under a new name, such as: mc-mod.conf
and now edit the renamed file as follows:
Replace: name=Ralesk's MC
with: #= name=Ralesk's MC
name=MC Modified
Replace: default=#c0c0c0;#114;false;false
with: #= default=#c0c0c0;#114;false;false
#= default=Very light grey on deep blue-purple
default=#f7f7f7;#12126d;true;true
Replace: selection=#000;#369;true;true
with: #= selection = White on Turquoise
selection=#ffffff;#107b89;true;true
Replace: brace_good=#c0c0c0;#369;true;false
brace_bad=#fff;#f00;true;false
with: #= brace good = Black on Yellow, brace bad = Black on Orange
brace_good=#000000;#f9fb0e;true;false
brace_bad=#000000;#fc700d;true;false
Replace: #= comment=#960;;;true
with: #= comment = Orange on Dark Blue-Purple
comment=#fa9754;#12126d;;true
Replace: marker_search=#000;#0000f0 (Note: this change didn't work
as expected)
with: #= marker_search=Orange shift
marker_search=#000000;#fc700d
Eventually we may find more desired changes, but this is a good start.

I have a habit of commenting out original code before replacing it with
my changes. This makes the file look a little messy, but I find that it
helps me. Of course, anyone else is free to ignore this practice as you
wish. Also note: the original mc.conf file uses some coded names for
some colors. e.g. #000, #114, #309, #fff. I never found where these
names were defined, so I just replaced them with full hex color codes,
where I wanted a change. Not the best way, but it worked for me for
now. I may eventually find the name definitions; if so, I'll look at
this issue again.
Hope this helps someone.
