Hello,

The newly enabled colored output is rather hard to read on dark backgrounds, especially the deep blue color used for IPv6 addresses.

Setting COLORFGBG=";0" as the manpage suggests helps a lot.

Consider a scenario when this command is used under stress to manually bring up networking from a VT. It's a rather basic command that would typically run on a dark background and it's important for it to be accessible by default without fiddling around too much.

Thanks!
