I've just checked: without it you'll get B&W. There's a sample one in the distribution. In addition, colour didn't work properly with older versions of XFree86. It does with the latest version, but I can't tell when the change occured. If it still doesn't work after installing a .muttrc, you might like to install the latest version.
