Why not borrow from GNU grep manpage?

   --colour[=WHEN], --color[=WHEN]
      Surround  the  matching  string  with  the marker find in GREP_COLOR
      environment variable. WHEN may be 'never', 'always', or 'auto'

We probably would also want it configurable (via config variables),
as `color.grep' I guess.

I think compatibility with grep (using GREP_COLOR) would be good idea,
and easily implemented.
