Can we refactor `color.mode=auto` to do something reasonable, like detect and use terminfo if it is available? It always struck me as strange that `auto` doesn't actually get you the best possible experience.
FWIW, I think the color code needs to be massively refactored to support "nice things" like native 256 color usage, different profiles for different background colors, color blind awareness, customization based on TERM, etc.
