This is expected and deliberate, as you haven't told about your desire to consider carriage-returns not as line termination letter. By default CR is just one of the whitespace letters, and colored diff output is reminding you that you introduced a line with a trailing whitespace.

Check git-config(1) and look for "core.whitespace", paying special attention to "cr-at-eol".
