The previous releases used to show colorful output on the terminal, e.g. when searching for packages. The latest release doesn't do that anymore. Is it expecting a config flag or a particular cli arg for that feature now?

yay now follows pacman's config /etc/pacman.conf for colors.

You need to add Color to your options /etc/pacman.conf
Example (my pacman.conf):

#{{{ General options
    [options]
    HoldPkg      = pacman glibc
    CleanMethod  = KeepInstalled
    UseDelta     = 0.7
    Architecture = auto
#}}}

#{{{ Misc options
    UseSyslog
    Color
    TotalDownload
    CheckSpace
    VerbosePkgLists
#}}}

#{{{ Trust
    SigLevel           = Required DatabaseOptional
    LocalFileSigLevel  = Optional
    RemoteFileSigLevel = Required
#}}}

#{{{ Repositories
    [core]
    Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

    [extra]
    Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

    [community]
    Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

    [multilib]
    Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
#}}}

Awesome, that's definitely an improvement! Quickly added the Color option to my pacman.conf and can confirm it's working just fine. Thanks for the detailed reply!

Not sure if this is an issue for other people, but while I have color enabled in pacman.conf, my output is still just mostly gray.
