Sounds reasonable, and I think the new output looks nice. I notice that
skipped tests are still in green. I wonder if they should be in yellow,
too.

What about blue instead?   This would keep the colouring scheme more
consistent with the one used by prove:
  <http://search.cpan.org/~ovid/Test-Harness/bin/prove>
by autotest:
  <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Using-Autotest>
and by the Automake-generated test harness:
  <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Scripts_002dbased-Testsuites>

Sounds good to me!  Blue is the conventional color for informational
signs, so seems like a natural fit for skipped tests.  Not sure
whether it should be bold or not though?  I'll wait for a more solid
group consensus before re-rolling yet another patch :-)

Blue would be fine with me. No strong opinion on bold or not (my gut is
that most things should not be bold unless there is a good reason, but
that is just a feeling).
