possible bug? clap 4 no longer outputting colored help when compiled with the color feature

[EverlastingBugstopper]

Hi! I'm attempting to update a repository from clap 3 to clap 4 (apollographql/rover#1404) and I'm noticing that the output of cargo run -- --help is no longer colored! I tried to manually enable the color feature, in addition to setting ColorChoice::Always, but the output of the help command is still grayscale.

In the docs, it looks like the only thing you can do is to disable colored help output, so I'm not sure exactly what's going on!

Thanks 😄

color is generally a shorthand for "any terminal styling" which we are still providing.

Can you confirm that text is being bolded and underlined? If so, then this is expected behavior though we have issues in the 4.x milestome for customizing this

Ok! I still see coloring enabled for errors and other things - the help text is bolded with no color, wasn't sure if "more neutral palette" meant "no color at all" in the changelog.

Since this is the expected behavior I'll close this issue - thanks for the quick response 😄
