Description
At the MacportsMeeting2018 we discussed about adding colors to the port command. The lowest-hanging fruit would be to colorize warnings and errors. That can be done directly in the port client but it needs to be checked if the resulting output is "pleasing".

Some ideas:
- Emphasize importance such as red for
ui_error, yellow forui_warn, gray forUI_PREFIX(-->) - Emphasize portnames in actions like install

COLORS
I have worked on this and have some screenshots of the resulting work with me. Should I post them here or should I just include them in my GSoC proposal because either way, this ticket will definitely be a part of the project "IMPROVE COMMAND LINE TOOL UX".
I used this code at the front of the string being return to change the ui_error to red
"\033\[31m ERROR : "
