As a note, turning off color can improve accessibility for some people. I have a co-worker who has deuteranomaly and virtually all colored text at the terminal poses readability problems. It would be beneficial if he could just set NO_COLOR=1 in his environment and have everything just work. For this reason, I'm in favor of taking this patch, assuming it comes with tests. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US https://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
