Rather than requiring an explicit option, how about detecting
whether stdout is a TTY and automatically suppressing color?
You could check "os.isatty(1)" in main(), and set a global "color =
False". That would automatically handle the cases of redirecting to a
file or piping to another script, without requiring the user to pass
--no-color.
