With the attached patch, after reverting 136c8c8b ("color: check
color.ui in git_default_config()", 2017-07-13) from the tip of
'master', all tests seem to pass.  More importantly,

    git -c color.ui=always diff-files -p >not-a-tty

will not get colors on its output file, because it does not pay
attention to color.ui configuration.

Note that I haven't _decided_ that reverting is the best way to move
forward (yet).  I am just giving a datapoint for people to use when
they assess how painful each possible avenues proposed are.
