This is a function of your pager, rather than the "man" program, I
believe. Searching more's manpage for "colou?r" shows nothing, and less'
manpage says the --color option is for MS-DOS only. If you're using
another pager, check it's documentation, if you're currently using
more or less you may have to find another pager (or write something
yourself).
