I agree with you overall (Unicode is not new), but I'd just like to clarify that color is not a Unicode thing. It is entirely within the domain of terminfo(5) and its associated swamp of horrifying complexity. So when it breaks, please do not blame the Unicode consortium, because they had nothing to do with it.
