FWIW, I shall be setting NO_COLOR permanently if this gets committed.
I wonder how many people there are who actually *like* colored output?
I find it to be invariably less readable than plain B&W text.

I may well be in the minority, but I think some kind of straw poll
might be advisable, rather than doing this just because.
 
 
It's easier to spot errors/warnings when they are colored/emphasized imo. Much like colored output from grep/diff; We humans have colored vision for a reason.
