So, the whole point is make the default value be "no color" for each

Oh, and might be what NO_COLOR homepage provides as a tip for 
"disabling color in software not supporting NO_COLOR" for Git 
specifically might be a good (and enough of a) clue by itself...?

  git config --global color.ui false

So I'd argue that Git should react to NO_COLOR exactly as it should 
react to `color.ui` set to false - disabling all color.

Do note it's only by default, in case no (other) color configuration is 
specified - any existing user config should take precedence, of course, 
further acting as per user's desire ("... NO_COLOR says I prefer no 
color in general, but I do want color in this specific case, enabled by 
setting this software specific config option explicitly...").
