You're correct, but only for VERBOSE lines.  The other log levels do not
contain color codes.  This is more of a consequence of verbose messages
getting colorized prior to output than anything else, and as pointed out
before, this is not unique to 1.6.0.  Given that the VERBOSE level is so,
well, verbose, most people do not enable that log level in production, but
turn it on only for debugging purposes.
