`--color=always|yes|never|no|auto (or --colour=...)`
: 'auto' is the default, it tries to use ANSI color codes in terminal output when supported.
: 'always' or 'yes' forces color on, useful when piping output, eg into 'less -R'.
: 'never' or 'no' forces color off.
: A NO_COLOR environment variable also disables color, overriding this option.

Some reporting options can also be written as [query arguments](#queries).
