More and more utility maintainers apparently think it's helpful to vary foreground colors according to context. It's not helpful - it's an arbitrary and unnecessary usability handicap.

What is a vtty, and what makes it different from a normal (current software implementation, not the 70s era's) tty?
A vtty in a Linux distro is a condensed version of virtual terminal, a single physical display with usually 6 virtual displays configured according to /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/ to run agettys or gettys and accept up to 6 logins as if there were 6 displays instead of the one physical one; often called simply tty or vt; and while in multi-user target switched among using Alt-Fn. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
