Apparently you have the same version of dnf I have. I utterly despise
"helpful" colors, especially since all the people who pick them assume
you have a white background in your terminal Then you can't read them at
all with a dark background.
Actually, I use various pastel colors that're supposed to be easy
on the eyes -- and color-code the tabs on my terminal so that I have an
extra assurance against doing something in the wrong place. But *I*
choose the colors for both background and text; so this misery would foul
me up even if it were a decent color.
If the developers want the text input by me and the text input by
dnf to be able to differ, great -- so long as they let the *user* choose
both colors (or ignore them if so preferred). Springing it on us is a
foul.
