It's not so much that channels are colored and things are highlighted, it's that there's so MUCH color in things.
In creating my current mud, color was one of the first things I played with, especially from a room and eq standpoint. We generally do not allow color to be used in room descriptions or equipment, with a few exceptions. Rooms are automatically colored depending on what type of room sector it is (i.e. forests are green, mountains dark white, water blue, etc). Yes, we do have a "standard" text of bright white everywhere that takes people some getting used to, but past that, it doesn't look like a crayon factory exploded, if it's in color, it's there for a reason, not just to be there, and yes, the very FIRST thing you see upon logging in is "Do you want color?" so people can turn it off if they choose to...
Players are allowed to use color when restringing a piece of eq, and most do so, but even then people even tend not to go too overboard with changing it all...
