Michael Osipov created MNG-7180:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Make --color option behave more like BSD/GNU grep's --color option
                 Key: MNG-7180
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7180
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Michael Osipov


Since MNG-7080 introduced this option we mimic grep's behavior, but not the way grep actually does.

GNU grep: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grep.git/tree/src/grep.c#n2751
FreeBSD grep: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/781c3b51193e5bd99773439192ca68fdfdd9c330/usr.bin/grep/grep.c#L576-L596

* Both make the value for {{--color}} optional and default to {{auto}}
* They also accept {{tty}}, {{if-tty}}, {{yes}}, {{force}}, {{none}}, {{no}}

We should support that approach too: Optional value and privately accepting additional values.
