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

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.
