Details

I can see that the colors used by the colorized output are hardcoded.

Would it be possible to make them configurable?

In addition, would it be possible to use a different color for each repository (i.e. one color for *core*, another color for *community*, etc.) and to provide a color setting for the slash character that separates the repository name from the program name?
This task depends upon

An additional extra for colors configurations are daltonism, if you have red-yellow daltonism then all the red "warning" and yellow "advertences" look like the same color.

This will let peoples with those problem configure the colors so they will see for what color put in what options without making the devs figure an all-cases fix that probably not exist.

I would like to see this implemented too now that dimmed colors are being used.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand how making the terminal output harder to see is useful.
