+'''Menucolors''' is a feature in NetHack 3.6 and above that allows you to colorize individual rows on a menu based on what regular expressions match its text. You can color the [[inventory]] menu, the [[spellcasting]] menu, the [[enhance]] menu, the [[options]] menu, and more.
 For example, you could color all [[blessed]] items bright cyan, all [[cursed]] items bright orange, and all [[uncursed]] items dim green. From there you could underline dangerous items (loadstone, wand of cancellation, etc.), make the [[Amulet of Yendor]] magenta, all [[gold]] yellow, and so on, until you're satisfied.
-The menucolors patch also supports globbing instead of regular expressions; the resulting menucolors are far less powerful, but are more portable.

 Unfortunately, there's a bug in that setting an attribute (bold, underline, etc) resets the color of a line, and vice versa. You can work around this by setting ''color&attribute'', but that's not a very general solution.
-For the purposes of regex matching, the menu accelerator and the hyphen seperating it from the menu entry are considered part of the entry by the menucolors patch. However, patches to NAO during May and June of 2012 altered this behavior, and these features are no longer part of the entry. In other words, "q - a club" or "a - autodig" will match a club in your inventory or the autodig option in the options menu as long as you aren't playing on NAO. If you are playing on NAO, you would need to use "a club" and "autodig".

 The regular expressions match against menu entry separately, so you are free to use the ^ and $ operators to match the beginning and the end of the entries.
