+Hi All,\r
+\r
+thanks for extensive answers on this thread. The plum-1 and other\r
+definitions are coming from 'tango-dark' theme of emacs 24, which I\r
+wanted to modify. I understood hence, that the two ways of settings the\r
+colors (notmuch/emacs24) are so far somehow incompatible and hence there\r
+is no way how to specify the notmuch colors the emacs24 way.\r
+\r
+many thanks\r
+.d.\r
