But in UCL v4.10a packaged with UE v12.10b the color configuration became a part of the configuration dialog and in UCL this dialog is disabled. I don't know if this is by design of IDM or just a bug of the UCL version. Please contact IDM support by email and ask for clarification.
In the meantime I used my UltraCompare Professional version to get the default values of all colors and its settings stored in the registry. Here is the exported registry key for UltraCompare Professional v3.00 and above:

How can this help you for UltraCompare Lite?
I have not tested it but UCL has also a color key in the registry which contains by default none of the binary values above. So if you remove the UltraCompare Pro 3\ text from the registry file above and also the grayed settings for folder compare which is not supported by UCL you will have the correct color registry file for UCL.
Copy that text into an ASCII file, save it with the extension ".reg" and double click on it to import it into the registry.
You should modify the color settings you like to change in the registry file before importing the values. Use in UltraEdit the Edit - Insert Color dialog to get the hex RGB values of the colors you like.
