Yes, there is a default color set for file capabilities. I just wanted to highlight that --color does not imply we check for capabilities on its own. The way to skip the check even with --color is there intentionally because of the following bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/467508 There is also a request similar to this one in Red Hat Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/647786 Kamil
