And I hold no judgment for your "misguided" love of colors. :-P Just

In all seriousness, the color contrasting is a real problem for people
with visual impairments, including me. Finding solutions to fix color
issues in terminal for each and every tool that uses it becomes a real
chore for us. Look how many different solutions were mentioned for vim.
Ah! Yes, now I understand.
I wish there was a way to set terminal (such as Gnome-Terminal or
Konsole) to ignore colors at a blanket level. It is nice to have
learned all the different methods for color management, but achhh!
Mmm... there might be... but I haven't investigated it. :-?
The xterm has some settings:
-bdc Set the vt100 resource colorBDMode to ``false'',
disabling the display of characters with bold
attribute as color
+bdc Set the vt100 resource colorBDMode to ``true'', enabling
the display of characters with bold
attribute as color rather than bold
I was just grepping for "color" in the man page. I don't see one for just
set it to B/W mode, but there are many settings. Perhaps mapping colors.
Maybe this one:
colorMode (class ColorMode)
Specifies whether or not recognition of ANSI (ISO 6429)
color change escape sequences should be
enabled. The default is ``true.''
Also, if you want, you can set the whole display to black and white, or
levels of gray. I have never tried, but it should be possible. Mmm...
dunno if it is possible... we can choose how many colors, or bits per
pixel, but force it to grays... I'm not sure.
