I'm not sure.  I very rarely use colors myself and, as a result of this, have
not researched this at all.

I just happened to know that more(1) does this trick, because I regularly use
it on Gentoo Linux installations to strip off the colors from the output of
commands like emerge(1), which stupidly insist printing colorful output even
if I connect over SSH and set my TERM to vt220.
