Change colors of bootup menu in 8.04

[elmo]

  I have some greatgrandkids who want to run their game CDs in Windows 
when they visit and  I don't want them  to boot UBUNTU so I edit  
menu.lst  to rearrange the order of listing  the operating systems to 
put Wndows XP at the beginning of the bootup menu and so it will 
autoboot in just a few seconds. 

I also like to display a more colorful bootup menu so I edit the color 
entry in menu.lst.
It's necessary to perform a save operation to make sure all the changes 
are made in menu.lst

I've been doing this since earlier versions of UBUNTU. and now that I 
have 8.04 installed, I'd like to have the same features in the bootup 
menu but I'm not able to change to colors.  However,  rearranging the 
order of listing is OK but no matter what color combination I choose for 
"color................"  in menu.lst,  the bootup menu appears in black 
and white.

I don't know if this is something different in 8.04 or if I'm doing 
something wrong..

Can someone show me how I can get a more colorful bootup menu?

 I also like to have colorful  boot menu.
I've been able to maintain this in every UBUNTU I've used until now when 
I installed 8.04.  For some, when
I edit 'color' in menu.lst, it seems to have no effect.  The boot menu 
is just black and white.
