Unfortunately, this means that launching `elm-make` from a build tool like `brunch` will result in non-color coded output.\r\n\r\nAccording to @niklas, the common way to solve this is to allow a flag like `grep --color=always`. If we add this to `elm-make`, that would allow `elm-brunch` to use that flag and preserve color coding.\r\n\r\nThoughts?\r\n"}}
