This doesn't make sense. There's no point in disabling color, and even if we need we can just pass the de-facto standard option. The homebrew guy did the right thing, and putting it on the list like "hall of shame" is definitely is not a good idea.

As someone else said, "I like strawberries, therefore everyone likes strawberries". A quick summary of potential reasons:
- it's distracting (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16323038)
- colorblindness (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16322796)
- bad default color schemes (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16322812)
- escape codes may break text processing (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16322600)
