I think what you are getting at might be how the defaults are set up for the Perl-based 'ack' program: If the output is a tty, color is on by default. However, if output is a pipe, color is off by default, since other programs tend to expect plain text. Related: I believe "less" doesn't handle color escape codes by default. You have to invoke it with "-R" for that.
