You must have set them that way, then, or picked up somebody else's
coloring rules, or whoever installed Ethereal must have installed some
of their own rules as global rules.  There are no default coloring rules
that come with Ethereal and never have been.

If they were your personal coloring rules, they should have been
preserved across an update.

Even if they were global coloring rules in the Ethereal install
directory, those *should* have been retained across an upgrade, assuming
you didn't un-install Ethereal first.
