Problem on console without support of color.

Hi, it would be great implement the NO_COLOR standard on grex since there's many CLI already with it (jaq, miller, crop, upx, python, xq, etc..,) and save the users from use "color=never", "--monochrome-color" or whatever.
Command-line software which adds ANSI color to its output by default should check
for a NO_COLOR environment variable that, when present and not an empty string
(regardless of its value), prevents the addition of ANSI color.
By adopting this standard, users that prefer to have plain, non-colored text output
can export NO_COLOR=1 to their shell’s environment and automatically disable color
by default in all supported software.
If your software outputs color by default, please consider not doing so.
More info on: https://no-color.org/I'm a user of Win 7 x64 and grex -c "regexes are awesome" "regexes are awful" outputs here:
←[1;33m^←[0mregexes are aw←[1;32m(?:←[0mesome←[1;31m|←[0mful←[1;32m)←[0m←[1;33m$←[0m
Cheers
