I came across a peculiar site. It's called https://no-color.org (terminals).
[`Xterm`](https://man.archlinux.org/man/xterm.1) and
[`ansifilter`](http://andre-simon.de/doku/ansifilter/en/ansifilter.php) work
well for programs that are unable to contextually disable colors.

```shell { caption="The more methods the better" }

ls -la | ansifilter   # Remove colors from output
xterm -cm             # Set color mode to false
export NO_COLOR=true  # For programs that follow
```

I used to wonder why some preferred no syntax/color highlighting. It turns out
that output can/will be hidden ({{< abbr e.g "for example" >}} black on black,
white on white) and color contrasts/distinctions are the ultimate talk past.
