--- Comment #2 from Jari Aalto <jari.aalto at cante.net> ---
Your phone? Howabout others phones, models, what type or resolution of
display....? Too many variables to generalize "it works for me".

Most of the program have colors off and provide separate option to turn it on.
Usually if you want a feature to be active, then there is an option to enable
it; in this case the --color option would be logical choice. 

Having to type exotic "TERM=dumb <command>" is contrary to every sensible way
to deal with commands.

Please note that "colors" are sensitive to

  - Type of display (depends largely on monitor etc).
  - BG/FG on black/white, white/on black settings etc. Does 
    the colors burn into your eyes? black background probes to be hard on
    various colors.
  - Doesn't take into account visually impaired people

GNU programs are model citizens here so that they don't get on your way of
working; you add more features with options as needed. That has proved to be a
good design decisions that works for everybody,
