Answer 1

As of git 1.8.3 (May 24, 2013), you can use %C(auto) to decorate %d in the format string of git log.

From the release notes:

 * "git log --format" specifier learned %C(auto) token that tells Git
   to use color when interpolating %d (decoration), %h (short commit
   object name), etc. for terminal output.)
