you can tweak the global default for having colors on/off via the
setting color.ui.

So for example doing

git config --global color.ui off

will turn colors globally off.

You can also tweak which colors are used, see color.status.<slot>. All
the git config options can be seen with git help config.

I've checked here and here the red is quite a bit brighter compared to
your screenshot, so I would not claim it is unreadable but that is of
course heavily subjective.
