Actually less -r allows you to take the control characters, so the --color would override the isatty() == false and output the control codes anyway.
As a thought, TRANSFORM should probably take the action abbreviation (e.g. "CC") as a parameter if you're going to do the colorization. This is all overkill, but is a nice feature imho.
