Description

At the moment, it is only zappa tail that supports a --no-color and a --force-color argument.

I'd like to suggest instead making a global --color=[auto|never|always] flag, which would affect all subcommands. There is currently no way to force color on zappa status which is why I'm filing the issue.

That particular --color= flag syntax is very standard across all unix tools (grep, ls, etc)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Analyze the current no color and force color implementation in zappa tail, then implement a global color flag using argparse or click options that overrides subcommand specific flags.
