IMO, emerge should not be doing stuff like that for two reasons:

 1) It's broken: the assumptions made about what colors are actually
    legible is wrong if you use terminals with white backgrounds.  I
    have to turn off colors just to make the default output legible.

 2) It introduces dependencies like this which should be minimized in
    something as central to the system as emerge.
