I just checked out again on --color=n (I expect it is the same as
--color n), mentioned below:

At first it worked in the terminal, and in the logs, this time around,
here.

This time around, and it was a lot of emerge'ing, after a couple of
dozen emerge'ing of various packages, while that '--color=n' option had,
at start of using it, removed color from the terminal and from the
logs... after a couple of dozen emerge'ing of various packages it
stopped removing color, completely stopped, in the terminal and in the
logs.

This is a bug, and if this is how others have it too, than this needs to
be reported to bugzilla.

I would do it, but I'm a little unwell at this time, can't do it, don't
know if I'll be able to do it later.
