The NO_COLOR environment variable is the widely-accepted standard for disabling colour in terminal applications. While most users (myself included) love colourful outputs, these outputs can cause significant accessibility issues for people with limited vision.

As such, Morgan should detect the use of the NO_COLOR environment variable, and disable coloured output when it is set.
