I prefer colour to be functional rather than aesthetic. That is, it separates different pieces of information. The available exits are once colour. The room description another, the object a third and the mobiles a fourth. Or whatever pieces of information you have.

I simply cannot stand text such as "the <span style='color:green'>green</span> sword", as if I didn't know what green is. It's distracting, anyway.

That said, I agree with KaVir. Make your codebase smart. Make it configurable.
