I don't particularly like colorization.  But technically, it seems to me
that what is needed is a systematic way for the user to indicate his
colorization preferences to *all* utilities.  And a corresponding way
for the system to provide defaults for those user preferences.

Only when there is a systematic framework for colorization will all the
programs allow colorizing to be configured.
