Yes, I added "action" and "unread" to the list of sequences for myself, and
it was pretty simple:

* In HOME/.exmh/exmh-defaults, you just need this:

*sequences:             action urgent unread mrange drange range moved deleted selected unseen cur
*sequence_action:       -background yellow -foreground blue
*sequence_unread:       -foreground blue

where I took the first line from app-defaults-color in the distro and added
the new sequences I wanted at the beginning.  I've grep'd around a bit, and
I think that's all there was to it.
