We are returning "success" to the caller, so using error() here is a
bit strong.  Judging from how other messages emitted with err() in
this program is meant to help the end user, they are all to tell the
user why their input caused no actual change, and showing these two
messages the same way as these other messages would be the best for
consistency.

So I'm inclined to say that what was posted is good.  If it paints
these two messages in the same color as others, that is even getter.
