> I can't even think of situations where the colors chosen by a developer were so bad I wanted to disable them completely. PuTTY comes to mind immediately upon reading this sentence. It is used more often than I like. https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ The default colorscheme is extremely bad and if you use Vim to open log files, the comments are unreadable because they're colored as dark blue on a black background. Most of the other colors are unreadable as well. The widespread usage of PuTTY in my organization is the reason I have never written scripts or programs with colors, even though colors would help a lot of people differentiate between benign, warning, and error messages.
