If test is being directly executed (with stdout opened on the terminal) and the terminal capabilities indicate enough colors, then use the existing scheme of green, red, and blue to show when tests pass, fail or end in a different way.
When running the tests redirecting the stdout, for instance, to a file, then colors are not shown, thus producing a more readable output.

Hi Daniel, Thanks for the patch. Steve is working on adding this functionality. Please see the latest linux-kselftest next for the patch.
I hadn't seen today's discussion until after Steve replied to this patch. Mine is based on your next branch, building upon Steve's patch.
These changes here are somewhat different, in that color is enabled only if color is available in the terminal in the first place! And if the standard output is redirected to a file (which is what Masami reported today), then colors are avoided even if available.
Greetings!

Steve just sent an update to the patch to fix an issue. Please test and see if that solves the problem you are trying address with this patch.
thanks, -- Shuah
