Description of the new feature/enhancement
When I was exploring some of the coloring options available in PSReadLine I was confused when the options I got from Get-PSReadLine were not working when I did Set-PSReadLineOption -Colors @{<KEY>='Green'} . The options were expressed like "Color" but in order for them to work you just need "". An example of this confusion can be seen in screenshot below:
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Have more clear formatting to show the color options verses the other options available in PSReadLine, perhaps a header showing these are color specific keys. Maybe utilize the same formatting that Get-PSReadLineKeyHandlers use.
i.e
PS /Users/stevenbucher> Get-PSReadLineOption

Very rough design but just a thought for potential way to do this.
NOTE: this would be a breaking change so may not be worth however my personal preference is having more detailed and categorization of these options.
