This could could help highlight files in ls-files or status output, or
even diff --name-only (but that's questionable).

This code is from coreutils.git commit
7326d1f1a67edf21947ae98194f98c38b6e9e527 file src/ls.c. This is the
last GPL-2 commit before coreutils turns to GPL-3.

I don't know if this is something to consider but for my mac, I have another
variable CLICOLOR which shows the colors if it is set. This is also true with
FreeBSD[1] as well. I don't know if that should be checked if you're on those
systems.

I think it would be nice to have --color flag as well if you want to enable
color output for just that one output.

My plan is stick to how git handles colors (e.g. --color and color.*
config variables). Is that enough or do you think git CLICOLOR should
override --color and color.*?
