Follow-up Comment #4, bug #67309 (group groff):

I should (perhaps belatedly) add that if one wanted the original behavior of
this command-line option, an equivalent was adding


.color 0


to your _troffrc_ (or _troffrc-end_).

As already noted, any document could then merrily reënable multicolor
output.

It made no sense to me to carry the weight of a command-line option that
simulated only the foregoing request.

It makes more sense to me to have `-c` imply "and I mean it!"
