In my subjective opinion most of git uses color sensibly, so we kind of already support NO_COLOR (turn it on, and you'd get sensible colors).

Except, my patch to colorize man pages can be considered to be coloring things willy-nilly.

So perhaps that's the only instance where we should consider caring about that.

Cheers.
