How to disable command line terminal colour and other text formatting?

I have found a solution.

For those looking to do the same, you can modify the rootrc file as mentioned in section 2.7 of: https://root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/guides/users-guide/ROOTUsersGuide.html#the-root-command-line

Specifically, within the rootrc file, there are the variables:

#Rint.TypeColor:          bold blue
#Rint.BracketColor:       bold green
#Rint.BadBracketColor:    bold red underlined
#Rint.PromptColor:        default
#Rint.TabComColor:        magenta

By un-commenting these lines and setting their values to default, the REPL will keep the current terminal colour.
