The CMake variable CMAKE_COLOR_MAKEFILE sets the preference to generate a colored Makefile at Configure time.
At Build time, regardless if CMAKE_COLOR_MAKEFILE=ON, you can use 'make <target> COLOR=0' to turn off Makefile color dynamically. Running through cmake with 'cmake --build <dir> -- COLOR=0' does the same thing. You could also set COLOR=0 as an environment variable. I don't believe a Makefile generated with CMAKE_COLOR_MAKEFILE=OFF can have color turned back on dynamically, however.
