Description
This is a bit of a taste thing, but currently almost everything is either colored green or red. I think spago is also just indiscriminately coloring everything on stderr as red, even subprocess output piped from spago run. It's a bit much IMO, and most of this (aside from green checkmarks) could be normal colors or even dimmed.

Research direction
Start by running spago run and observing which messages and subprocess output receive terminal colors. Trace the terminal-output entry point to identify the color decisions; done means ordinary output is less aggressively colored, stderr is not indiscriminately red, and green checkmarks remain.
