--no-color : better for GUIs and old terminal

Colors are nice, but not every terminal handles them correctly.
For example, the VIM terminal buffer does not :D, nor will it be easy to parse output from tomblib with ansi escapes inside.

you are right

and actually most programs (even most recent, like git) have a --color
flag and are b/w by default. i guess we should do the same

well, I like color by default. I am quite irritated when I see programs that doesn't use a nice feature they have.
