  Thanks! More details here: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Diagnostic-Message-Formatting-Options.html#index-fdiagnostics-text-art-charset https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Diagnostic-Message-Format... I hope my choices here work well on a wide variety of terminals.

    I'd appreciate dropping red/green as bad/good colorscheme. red & green feed one of the most common visual impairments, and tend to work quite bad with terminal fg/bg colors throughout the spectrum except for its ends (black & white). Maybe you have some color profile descriptor somewhere that a user can change, but a quick search through info gcc (of my installed version) just shows the ability to turn it on & off (-fdiagnostics-color=[auto|never|always]). Color is definitely one of the things that do NOT work well on a wide variety of terminals. try a white-on-firebrick VTE, or a black-on-darkgoldenrod (awesome for sun-glare, btw), white-on-green, white-on-purple for a change to see how well they mingle...

      Good point. I took a look, and it appears I hardcoded it, rather than going through our normal color management. Sorry about that. I've filed https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=114588 https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=114588 about this and I'll try to get it fixed before GCC 14 releases properly (i.e. for GCC 14.1)
