Colors are specified in color.interactive.{prompt,header,help}.
They are specified as git color strings as described in the
documentation. The method color_to_ansi_code() in Git.pm parses
these strings and returns ANSI color codes (using
Term::ANSIColor).

+=item color_to_ansi_code ( COLOR )

+Converts a git-style color string, like "underline blue white" to
+an ANSI color code. The code is generated by Term::ANSIColor,

+that module. Used as follows:
+
+	print color_to_ansi_code("underline blue white");
