Take all the time you like. Eisenhower tells us that what is urgent is
rarely important, and that what is important is rarely urgent.

I do not recall you specifying here what terminal you use. And it is
interesting to know.

But I meant to ask something different. I will try to be more clear.

You have reported that redirecting icdiff output to a file, in your
words, "drops all colors".

And so I have three questions:

1. Show us the full command line you enter, to redirect the output of
icdiff to a file.

2. Show us the full command line you enter, to view the contents of
that file.

3. For a suitable pair of files, report whether colors are displayed
as expected when you do

  $ icdiff file1 file2 > pretty_diff
  $ less -R pretty_diff
