In v3.9.2. `--color` doesn't force a coloured output anymore. - In 2.8.1 a command such as `helm diff upgrade NAME CHART --color | cat` would show a coloured result. - In 2.9.2 the output is monochrome. If the output is direct to TTY, 2.9.2 produces a coloured output as well. It's the `--color` flag to force it to seem broken.
