yep, i though i could have help as it looks correct
but also i read, it could depends of the shell that your are using

> NEWT_COLORS='window=blue' nmtui

This doesn't seem to do anything

> NEWT_COLORS='window=white,red border=white,red checkbox=white,red actcheckbox=white,green' nmtui

This at least changed something:

Fix my color scheme of nmtui

Setting Colors with NEWT_COLORS

You can change some of the interface colors by setting the NEWT_COLORS environment variable before launching nmtui. For example, to change the background color from the default pink to blue, run:

bash
NEWT_COLORS='window=blue' nmtui


NEWT_COLORS='window=white,red border=white,red checkbox=white,red actcheckbox=white,green' nmtui
