incredibly annoying. Hmm... so far, I've managed to remove colors from
vim and ls. I haven't come across anything else yet that uses color in
terminal. Since we're a kindred "anti-color" spirit, what else have you
come across and what were your solutions then?

There are more: joe, mc, mcedit, pine... But, I like color :-P

And I hold no judgment for your "misguided" love of colors. :-P Just
kidding.

In all seriousness, the color contrasting is a real problem for people
with visual impairments, including me. Finding solutions to fix color
issues in terminal for each and every tool that uses it becomes a real
chore for us. Look how many different solutions were mentioned for vim.

I wish there was a way to set terminal (such as Gnome-Terminal or
Konsole) to ignore colors at a blanket level. It is nice to have
learned all the different methods for color management, but achhh!
