You can try something like below approach with dynamically redefined
macro:

~/.muttrc
---
macro index XX source ~/.mutt/colors1.muttrc
---

~/.mutt/colors1.muttrc
---
# colors #1
macro index XX source ~/.mutt/colors2.muttrc
---

~/.mutt/colors2.muttrc
---
# colors #2
macro index XX source ~/.mutt/colors1.muttrc
---
