Answer 1

You can use the color config section of git.

For more information and examples see http://git-scm.com/book/en/Customizing-Git-Git-Configuration#Colors-in-Git or the second part of http://blog.philippmetzler.com/?p=15

example: (add to your .gitconfig)

[color]
     interactive = always
[color "interactive"]
     error = red bold
