Configurable colors

RSpec allows you to configure the terminal colors used in the text formatters.

failure_color: Color used when tests fail (default: :red)
success_color: Color used when tests pass (default: :green)
pending_color: Color used when tests are pending (default: :yellow)
fixed_color: Color used when a pending block inside an example passes, but was expected to fail (default: :blue)
detail_color: Color used for miscellaneous test details (default: :cyan)

Colors are specified as symbols. Options are :black, :red, :green,
:yellow, :blue, :magenta, :cyan, and :white.

Scenarios

@ansi Customizing the failure color

Given

a file named "custom_failure_color_spec.rb" with:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.failure_color = :magenta
  config.tty = true
  config.color = true
end

RSpec.describe "failure" do
  it "fails and uses the custom color" do
    expect(2).to eq(4)
  end
end

When

I run rspec custom_failure_color_spec.rb --format progress

Then

the failing example is printed in magenta
