Michael Osipov commented on MNG-6220:
-------------------------------------

[~rfscholte], in my opinion there is. If you are used to {{$command 
--color=always | less -R}} you want to have this with Maven. Even if I redirect 
the Maven output, I'd like to page through the file with colors. Nobody forces 
you to invoke it, but you can if you need to. I will make it simply consistent 
with many other tools.

> Add CLI options to control color output

> Currently, the only way to enable/disable color output is to use the 
> batch-mode or log-file options.
> If a user wants colored output but no interactivity (ie: jenkins environment 
> with the ansicolor plugin), there is no CLI option combination to support the 
> use-case.
> I propose to add an option to control output coloring directly.
> {noformat}
> --color=enabled <- color output always enabled
> --color=disabled <- color output always disabled
> --color=auto <- current behavior (default)
