That's why the doc for complist says:
If the completion system based around shell functions is used, these
parameters should not be set directly because the system controls them
itself. Instead, the list-colors style should be used (see *Note
Completion System Configuration::).
And following that link:
list-colors
If the zsh/complist module is used, this style can be used to set
color specifications as with the ZLS_COLORS and ZLS_COLOURS
parameters (see *Note The zsh/complist Module::).
If this style is set for the default tag, the strings in the value
are taken as specifications that are to be used everywhere. If it
is set for other tags, the specifications are used only for
matches of the type described by the tag. For this to work best,
the group-name style must be set to an empty string. If the
group-name tag specifies other names for the groups the matches in
these groups can be colored by using these names together with the
`(group)...' syntax described for the ZLS_COLORS and ZLS_COLOURS
parameters and adding the specifications to the value for this
style with the default tag (although in most cases it should work
by setting this style for the appropriate tags).
It is possible to use the same specifications set up for the GNU
version of the ls command:
zstyle ':completion:*:default' list-colors ${(s.:.)LS_COLORS}
The default colors are the same as for the GNU ls command and can
be obtained by setting the style to an empty string (i.e. '').
