We considered using colours and other markers such as bold text, but that opens a considerable can of worms with detecting in all systems and configurations if that can be done. I have been told that some of these situations are quite tricky and is not as easy as checking for tty support.
If someone wants to contribute a way to detect reliably (in C) if the terminal supports ANSI colours, I'm happy to consider switching to that instead of the underlying.
