How about "use simple diff colors" instead?
That's certainly better than the one above, and I also prefer it to
"color only based on the diff-between-diffs" in v2.

I am wondering if it makes sense to remove the option altogether.
I've been trying to view the comparison of the same ranges in both
styles for the past few days, and I never found a reason to choose
"no dual color" option myself.
But I like this suggestion even better.
That wasn't even a suggestion.  I just did not see the point of the
optional behaviour myself, and was soliciting concrete examples
where the --no-dual mode would help.
