I see three arguments:

  1. "Never get in to a discussion about what color your bikeshed is".
  2. "Typeset the face as LaTeX does".
  3. Coloring makes Info skimmable.

They are all solid arguments.

    Emacs is customizable and I have some experience customizing it.

Being on one's own has some advantages and disadvantages...
