* Is there any policy regarding use of putchar/puts vs. printf?

If the printed string contains color escapes that should be obeyed, you
can use only fputs, printf, and fprintf. You should not use puts or putchar.

Oh, I don't use them with colors. I use only color_fprintf for that. I
was wondering whether there's a preference of printf("%c", c) over
putchar(c), for example.

* Even if I were to write tests for status -s: How do I test colors?

See t4034-diff-words.sh.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for the case that I do have to write test ;)
