David Yan commented on APEXCORE-558:
------------------------------------
[~sanjaypujare] I can assure you that there are more than 1% of the users who
use a dark background on a terminal that find the yellow foreground color OK. :)
Since this does pose a problem for users with a white background, I'd vote for
removing color altogether and just use bold or italics, and if macOS terminal
does not support bold/italics, it's not the end of the world for those users
because they can still read the text.
If we must use color, we can use what git-diff uses by default, which is 0;32
(green) for addition and 0;31 (red) for removal, and I hope we don't end up
using red.
> Do not use yellow color to display command strings in help output
