Personally, I love colours on my terminal — in a minimal way, like this[1] —, but I understand people that do not, which is why I have this in every script I write, public or not.

    # Color variables to make our output a little easier on the eyes. Respect
    # NO_COLOR, in case the user does not want any.
    if [[ -t 1 && -z "${NO_COLOR:-}" ]]; then
      readonly c_red='\033[0;31m'
      readonly c_blue='\033[0;34m'
      readonly c_green='\033[0;32m'
      readonly c_bold='\033[1m'
      readonly c_reset='\033[0m'
    fi

I have no idea why I added that readonly command there, though, but by now I am afraid to remove it.

The NO_COLOR[2] environment variable is not exactly a standard as far as I know, but it is supported by enough command-line software that it feels like one to me.
