My understanding is that mach-color was replaced by mach-gnu-color in
Hurd around two years ago.[1][2]

I left the definition for compatibility, as I'm not aware of whether
any non-GNU Mach systems use TERM=mach-color, and corresponding
definitions for mach-color are still found in ncurses.

Thanks.
