The thing is: the explicit "is disabled" before the comma describes a
situation, the understood "is disabled" after the comma describes
an action.  In my head this grates.  But maybe this is just my Dutch
shimmering through: there different verbs are needed for those two
things ("is uitgeschakeld", "wordt uitgeschakeld").

"Using color is disabled by default, and (is disabled) with --color=never."

The grating gets less but not nil when putting in an "also":

"Using color is disabled by default, and also with --color=never."
