'cf config --color=false' does not turn off all the colors

[STiago]

Please fill out the issue checklist below and provide ALL the requested information.

• [X] I tried updating to the latest version of the CF CLI to see if it fixed my problem.
• [ ] I attempted to run the command with CF_TRACE=1 to help debug the issue.
• [X] I am reporting a bug that others will be able to reproduce.

Describe the bug and the command you saw an issue with When running cf push -f manifest.yml after run cf config --color=false it still shows some all the output colors.

What happened When turning --color=false, only the light blue color would get turned off. The dark blue, green and red colors were still shown.

1. Color false:

2. Color true:

Expected behavior 'cf config --color=false' should removes all the output colors.

To Reproduce

1. Run cf config --color=false
2. Run cf push -f manifest.yml

Hey @STiago! Thanks for reporting this issue to us - we reproduced it locally on our machines and we will talk with our PM about prioritizing this issue. Just a heads-up, our PM is on holiday currently.

We think the issue has to do with where each of these sections are coming from. Where you see the colors stripped, this is output from the CLI. Though, anything after "Staging app and tracing logs..." is directly streamed from CAPI. And, it looks like we are not properly removing colored output.

Dev Notes We reproduced this on our stations with the following steps:

1. $ claim_bosh_lite
2. Pushed dora -- saw intended colors in output $ cf push dora
3. Disabled CF CLI colors $ cf config --color=false
4. Pushed Dora again -- saw colors in output still. Colors located under logs we stream from CAPI

Staging app and tracing logs...
   Downloading r_buildpack...
   Downloading nodejs_buildpack...
