Colors are a useful way to convey extra information with the same amount of characters, I have color ls, color vim, color grep, etc.
The problem is that most (if not all) Linux distributions often turn on color by default, and that this sometimes this causes problems ... BSD on the other hand uses the more safe default of black/white.
