I think a year is plenty of time to agree on the default color scheme (and yes, the default certainly has to be usable/readable both on black-on-white and white-on-black terminals), but at least having an auto/never/always option allows one to choose, we can discuss what will be the default later on. The default could very well also be never if GCC_COLORS isn't in environment and auto if it is, or similar. Jakub
