I really wish there were a unified environment variable to enable colors for everything instead of having a separate one for everything or having to clutter your bashrc with a trillion aliases.

I decided to clutter the filesystem instead and have my bashrc source a bunch more files.

It helps me, at least.

Color support was added only in 2015:

I wasn't used to ip over ifconfig until a few years ago anyway lol
