Martin, I experienced issues displaying colors on my Mac (with the standard Git installation). For me, the issue was the pager. On my machine, the LESS environment variable had been set to -X (check this with "env | grep LESS").
I had to set my LESS environment variable to -XR, using: export LESS=-XR -R allows "raw" control characters to displayed, which enable colors. I set this in my .bash_profile. Another way to eliminate the pager is to run a Git command with the --no-pager switch. Try: % git --no-pager log -10 Do you see colors? If so, then the LESS environment variable may be solution.
