Terminals don't render colors and fonts the same way, displays don't display them the same way, people don't see them the same way. You are also not going to colorize output properly keeping consistent perceived brightness and contrast, only making it harder to read, for most people at least (I have never seen it done properly, there is always plenty of stupidity like red letters on black backround). And it's not like it's hard to make colorization opt in.

This is why I like having customizable terminal apps like ConEmu because I can change the color themes.
