That's why I think it needs to be two separate options, one to force
color on when it's normally off (you're not a dentist but the patient
wants a root canal, to paraphrase Hiram), and one to force color off
when it's normally on (you're a dentist but the patient doesn't _want_
a root canal), and only one of those options should be available from
the options screen at a given time.
being a dentist -> terminal description indicates color support,
wanting a root canal -> wanting colors (if you want colors as much
as you want a root canal, for instance, like me).
