I am -1 on coloured logger in 3.1.0 though given the number of commits to core coming from me I am fine to state this is not a veto rather a very strong preference.
I am fine with proofing the coloured logger changes before releasing 3.1.0 to ensure that we have logging right but in my view user visible changes make API changes more solid so I am less keen to couple them. The logging changes are big enough for a separate release.
