Problem

cargo tree is nice, but bard to read. Some color to help separate things like name, version, etc. would be handy.

Proposed Solution

Add support for colorizing parts of the output.

No response

I'd like to also propose optional colorized highlighting of packages based on substring search. E.g., cargo tree --highlight serde. This would make it easier to spot a package of interest among lots of dependencies.

Additionally, it may take several substrings and highlight them in different colors, e.g.
cargo tree --highlight serde,cpufeatures or
cargo tree --highlight serde --highlight cpufeatures

@bazzilic maybe its just me but I feel like that should be a separate issue to keep them better scoped.

@epage I think you are right, opened a separate issue #11932
