There are many issues with color. Does your reader have any
color deficiencies? Does your software address them? Does the
system software render colors well? Is color contrast sufficient?
Is greyscale contrast sufficient? Color is low on my list of
desirables.

The first thing I do is turn off colors in /bin/ls because there
are actually too few readable color combinations to be very usable.
So, I want to have the ability to turn warning colors off.

This question is hard to answer because I don't know all manners.
