The new quasi-standard for disabling ANSI color is to check for the NO_COLOR environment variable and disable color when the variable has a nonempty value. See https://no-color.org/: "Command-line software which adds ANSI color to its output by default should check for a NO_COLOR environment variable that, when present and not an empty string (regardless of its value), prevents the addition of ANSI color." Unfortunately Portage uses NOCOLOR instead, and checks for its value differently (e.g. for NOCOLOR=false). I suggest to update to the new standard. Presumably, the old variable should be kept in addition for some time, for backwards compatibility.
Maybe this is also a chance to consolidate the check a little. Currently it is all over the place: portage $ grep -r NOCOLOR | wc -l 37
Does this "https://bugs.gentoo.org/898224" mean upgrading the logic to look for NOCOLOR as well as NO_COLOR ( where true is not an empty str )

Both variables would be taken from the environment or from make.conf, and the --color={y,n} option would override them.

ulm, I'd appreciate if if you could run portage-9999 for a bit (or indefinitely, as I'd really love the testing) to confirm everything works as intended for you. Thanks!

I've used 9999 without and with NO_COLOR for a couple of days, and I haven't noticed any problems.
