I fully agree with Brad that the default color is not very readable. It
also makes it difficult for users to change their terminal colors on
their client.
So I propose we change the default log color to the default terminal
color and only use other colors to highlight special things like exceptions.
If we agree on this I will open a jira issue (if Brad does not do it
before) and change the color.

It really is time for the default logging colors in Karaf to be
changed. They've been atrocious to read for a very long time. Yes,
they can be changed but I'm bouncing from client to client and version
to version and it's a hassle and reading burgundy on black is tiring
on the eyes and cyan on black isn't much of a step in the right direction.
I'm sure most developers are like I and live in the log files and
tail:log constantly. Something as simple as a modification of the
color scheme would go a long way toward make the log files easier to
work with.
I'd be willing to say that a color change, any color change, would be
better than the defaults.
