I think it is inappropriate that you put your personal preferences over usability in general. It is unreasonable to unset a font color for everyone because of your personal, non-default choices of desktop/terminal themes. If a user prefers not to have colors, he is still free to configure iproute2 in his private environment accordingly. iproute2 produces dozens of lines of dense output, and color-coding fields greatly enhances readability and usability in the general and default cases. > PS: The color=auto is set in Debian's control/rules file (overriding > upstream's default), so what are you actually talking about? I am actually talking about the original email, which is referring to the choice of color for some field. Quoting verbatim: > Blue on a black background is as impossible to read as yellow on > white. Whether to use blue or yellow or any other specific color for a specific field is just how iproute2 is coded. If you want to have specific fields use different specific colors, you'll need to propose such changes upstream.
