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.
