I have noted over the years that when designing graphics, lots of different colors is confusing to the mind. Everytime something changes, whether in a typeset layout with pictures and graphics, or in a user interface, the mind stops and asks, "Why is that?" If it asks too many times or too often

On a Mac you have to use binfile if you want the appropriate line endings (LF)* as file will change them to the legacy version (CR).  On Windows, you probably still want to use file so that the line endings are adjusted to CRLF.  UTF recognizes both as valid (CRLF and LF), not sure about CR. *
