I was too terse, sorry. I wanted to point out that if tput is not available, 
the second invocation will leave "tput: command not found" behind on stderr. 
Therefore, I proposed to make the definition of say_color() different 
depending on whether $color is set or not. Then you don't need to test for 
$color twice inside the function.
