+Possible values:
+ <variablelist>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>on</option></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+Enables debug log output coloring. Uses default coloring method for current
+platform. This is the default.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>off</option></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+Disables debug log output coloring. This has the same effect as specifying the
+<option>--gst-debug-color-mode</option>=off command line option to
+well-behaved GStreamer applications (ie. those that pass command-line
+options correctly to GStreamer).
+This is particularly useful to reduce the size of debug output and also allows
+for the output to be compressed much better than with colours turned on.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+Has the same effect as setting GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR environment variable to
+any value.

+ <term><option>unix</option></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+Enables debug log output coloring and forces the use of UNIX termial codes
+for coloring, even if this method is not normally used on current platform.
+This has the same effect as specifying the
+<option>--gst-debug-color-mode</option>=unix command line option to
+well-behaved GStreamer applications (ie. those that pass command-line options
+correctly to GStreamer).
+This is particularly useful to dump debug output into a file on non-UNIX
+platforms to be sent to developers who have viewers that support UNIX terminal
+codes.
