Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 I do agree that the ability to configure the color scheme with a
 `GHC_COLORS` environment variable would be a cool feature. But I agree
 with David that I think outright disabling colors unless an environment
 variable is defined is going too far. Moreover, you can disable colors
 quite easily with `-fdiagnostics-color=never` in GHC, so I don't think
 this needs to be a release blocker.
