Thank you for your suggestion. IMHO, seeing different types of information in different colors helps to understand it easier at a glance. There are a few who would a black background, rather than white, but that is a different issue, and in the queue. Changing the default would contradict all the documentation, numerous articles, Youtube content, and confuse thousands of users. It is trivial to disable text color with "-t 0".
It is also disabled when the output is redirected to some destination other than a console device. For reasons, I have reject this suggestion.
