Is it possible to disable colors entirely?

Is it possible to disable colors entirely?

I would prefer for my interface to be in monochrome rather than hashing
names to obtain colors. Is this possible? I tried -H 0,0 and it caused a
segfault.

For monochrome output, you can set TERM to something incapable of
colour, for instance TERM=xterm-mono. Crashing on invalid -H values
has been fixed[1].

I’ve pushed this, which makes what you initially tried (-H 0,0) work:
