Make "--list" and "--list-all" output colored

[orenmazor]

I'd like my taskfiles to be used as their own manpages.

So I could have folks look at my project, and run task -a or task --sumarize and it prints a nicely formatted output of what's available.

Right now this is what I get:

which is awesome as a starting point, but color makes this more accessible.

For example, look at this tldr page:

much more accessible for new members of the team looking at a custom set of tools!

Is there any way to accomplish this with task out of the box?

Hi @orenmazor,

This sounds like a reasonable feature request.

We just have to keep in mind that we need to respect --color=false or env NO_COLOR=1 if given, by skipping colors if asked.

EDIT: When combining with --silent the output should also not have any colors.
