Description
There are various tools in this repo that use highline to set the color of text output. It looks like highline was chosen since it's included as part of Chef Infra Client and thus is in all the omnibus packages. We're in the process of deprecating highline and when that's complete it won't be available for use here. We now ship the pastel gem, which allows for the same sort of thing, but is a much small package that is still maintained.

Compare the available pastel and tty-prompt capabilities, and verify that all identified tools work without HighLine and that the dependency is no longer required.
