## N.1. When Color is Used

 To use colorized output, set the environment variable `PG_COLOR`[]() as follows:

1. If the value is `always`, then color is used.

2. If the value is `auto` and the standard error stream is associated with a terminal device, then color is used.

3. Otherwise, color is not used.
