I don't believe man pages display color attributes.  If you want nice
formatted color pages, "Ctrl+F2", then type "man:whatever".  You'll get a
nice html formatted man page with links to associated man pages.

-- INSERT -- is the current mode for vim, when it's displayed.  Why do you
need the mode to show up in color?
