After more than two decades - never knew ip had the --color switch, TIL and thanks! :)

  I really wish there were a unified environment variable to enable colors for everything instead of having a separate one for everything or having to clutter your bashrc with a trillion aliases.

    I decided to clutter the filesystem instead and have my bashrc source a bunch more files. It helps me, at least.

  Color support was added only in 2015: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git/commit/?id=d7bd2db52c1fcfe5 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git...

    And "auto" only added in 2018 (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git/commit/?id=ff1ab8edf827f55b86c6487c90b7454975d52236 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git...).
