It would be good to have bzrlib support color on windows and unix.
As this feature is not present, plugins end up with their own support. E.g. lp:bzrtools[1] and lp:bzr-grep[2] have their own implementation of color (unix only). I know there is a PyPI package (colorama[3] if I remember the code correctly) that supports color on both windows and unix. On Windows, from the developer/user perspective it translates the standard unix escape sequence into the appropriate windows equivalent. Maybe we can just use colorama or use a similar approach. Having bzrlib color support will also allow other commands to log etc. to have color.
Hmm. Maybe this should be a separate wishlist bug.
