Makes sense.
It seems that possible negative impact would be when the following are all true:

1. Users actually using color. For debian and derivatives, up until now this
would have been people enabling color themselves.
Debian's recent enabling color by default was the impetus for this issue.

2. Using light background.

3. Not using COLORFGBG, or setting it incorrectly.
