the same color for different things.

I'm fine with changing the defaults as you suggest. It makes more sense
to me with only two colors (files is a potential mistake or not), but I
added more fine-grained support because it was trivial and I thought
others might want to customize it.

We could, of course, allow even more fine-grained control by matching
file type (added, deleted, modified, etc), but I'm not sure anybody
would want that.

Is there any way to do isatty() from shell scripts?

As Junio said, test -t. :) Is there interest in me adding that feature?
