I don't like colored output either.

(It is, however, probably not a surprise to anyone that I am
old-school in many regards, so how much my opinion ought to count is
debatable. I still use \pset linestyle old-ascii when I remember to
set it, use vi to edit, with hjkl rather than arrow keys, and almost
always prefer a CLI to a GUI when I have the option. I have conceded
the utility of indoor heat and plumbing, though, so maybe there's hope
for me yet.)
