I personally don’t like having to ask a friend to adjust a bunch of terminal settings (or worse, use a specifically accessible terminal like you are suggesting) just so I can look over their shoulder without my eyes bleeding. I also don’t think anyone is asking you to go change all the software in the world to support NO_COLOR=1 just to help people out. I do think it would be great if the next time you thought about putting a little colour in your application that you consider supporting $NO_COLOR to disable it. It would help me and others out if I ever found myself using your software. I do agree that the terminal you suggest (if it existed and were common) _would_ be better than NO_COLOR=1 but I hope you can also understand we don’t live in that world, and that the “best” solution in one way, isn’t always the best way to help people out. Finally, I hope very much that you can think about accessibility in the future: asking the disabled to work harder is not a kindness- it may be unrealistic to do anything else, but you can try to make it as easy as you can, and that is a kindness.
