yes, I'm the culprit here :)

same for me
the code that checks for Maven version before activating colors does not work 
when run in Maven core...
I just activated color explicitely in Maven core, but since this code will 
also be responsible for custom colors injection (later, I still didn't have 
time to implement it), I don't think this will be the right answer

replacing JAnsi probably won't happen
But this API is responsible for consistent and configable colors

this is where Java 9 modules would help...
For the moment, I don't think hiding JAnsi is a priority: explaining the Maven 
color logging messages API is more important.

if we do that, doing plugins working on every Maven version will require 
reflection: that's hard

If using maven-project-utils in core is not ok, yes, we'll need a separate 
library
