color-style is a separate compile-time configuration.  If lynx has been 
compiled to support it, there would be a -lss option.  The filename 
associated with that is treated like the -cfg option (allows tilde).

Normally the colors used for color-style are defined in the ".lss" file 
and do not correspond to those defined in lynx.cfg

Coincidentally, in work toward dev.19, I have modified the initialization
of color-style to use the lynx.cfg values if the ".lss" file is explicitly
suppressed, e.g.,

        lynx -lss=""

In many cases that produces a screen which looks like the non-color-style.
See this interim patch:

        ftp://invisible-island.net/temp/lynx2.8.6dev.18d.patch.gz

which contains that change (mostly in LYStyle.c and LYCurses.c, with some 
configuration support of course in other files).  I'm working on bug-fixes 
now, and when done with bug-fixes will release dev.19.
