Support for NO_COLOR proposal #1498
Description
Activity
I find myself agreeing with ggreer/the_silver_searcher#1207 (comment), which is linked from the page you linked. It's not clear that this standard is a standard or that it's the correct thing to do.
As Jay points out, this has already been discussed in #1090 and we reached similar conclusions then. If an application wants to support controlling the color with an env var, it's straightforward to add.
if __name__ == "__main__": color = os.environ.get("CLICK_COLOR") color = color in {"1", "true"} if color is not None else None cli(color=color)

Expected Behavior
As described at https://no-color.org/, setting NO_COLOR to any value should disable color output at all.
Actual Behavior
Every application need its own solution for color disabling.
I think this behavior should be added to Click itself because its a reasonable default.
