Changing the Default Colour Scheme - Help?

I am currently using the 1.4a release of SMAUG and I haven't changed anything in the code except for adding two #defines to mud.h so that I could compile in Cygwin. Now, I want to change the default colour scheme because the one that SMAUG uses is... ugly. I know I can use the colorize module, but that only changes it for me and I want the defaults to change for everyone. So, I opened up mud.h and edited the following section to look like this:

#define AT_MAXCOLOR (AT_TOPCOLOR-AT_COLORBASE)

#if 0
#define AT_PLAIN AT_GREY
#define AT_ACTION AT_GREY
#define AT_SAY AT_LBLUE
#define AT_GOSSIP AT_DGREY
#define AT_YELL AT_LBLUE
#define AT_TELL AT_WHITE
#define AT_WHISPER AT_WHITE
#define AT_HIT AT_WHITE
#define AT_HITME AT_YELLOW
#define AT_IMMORT AT_BLUE
#define AT_HURT AT_RED
#define AT_FALLING AT_WHITE + AT_BLINK
#define AT_DANGER AT_RED + AT_BLINK
#define AT_MAGIC AT_BLUE
#define AT_CONSIDER AT_GREY
#define AT_REPORT AT_GREY
#define AT_POISON AT_GREEN
#define AT_SOCIAL AT_CYAN
#define AT_DYING AT_YELLOW
#define AT_DEAD AT_RED
#define AT_SKILL AT_GREY
#define AT_CARNAGE AT_BLOOD
#define AT_DAMAGE AT_WHITE
#define AT_FLEE AT_YELLOW
#define AT_RMNAME AT_WHITE
#define AT_RMDESC AT_GREY
#define AT_OBJECT AT_GREEN
#define AT_PERSON AT_PINK
#define AT_LIST AT_GREY
#define AT_BYE AT_GREEN
#define AT_GOLD AT_YELLOW
#define AT_GTELL AT_WHITE
#define AT_NOTE AT_GREEN
#define AT_HUNGRY AT_ORANGE
#define AT_THIRSTY AT_BLUE
#define AT_FIRE AT_RED
#define AT_SOBER AT_WHITE
#define AT_WEAROFF AT_YELLOW
#define AT_EXITS AT_BLUE
#define AT_SCORE AT_LBLUE
#define AT_RESET AT_DGREEN
#define AT_LOG AT_PURPLE
#define AT_DIEMSG AT_WHITE
#define AT_WARTALK AT_RED
#define AT_RACETALK AT_DGREEN
#define AT_IGNORE AT_GREEN
#define AT_DIVIDER AT_PLAIN
#define AT_MORPH AT_GREY
#endif

It's a long list, and those are the colours that I would like to use. So, I did a 'make clean' and then I did a 'make'. But the default colours are still the same ugly ones (for instance, Gossip is lblue instead of dgrey).

Am I skipping a step somewhere? Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

I think there is a file in the system folder that it reads.

I had been looking at colors.dat but in Notepad, it looks like a big mess of... stuff. I opened it in vi though and I think that'll do what I want. Thanks again.
