Hi Nio,
I can understand not liking the red, if it is an app you use many times
a day.
Is this colour determined by HTML in the file?
If so, I'd suggest adding something like
mkusb -w #ffffff
Then for the user they can just change the colour if they don't like it.
You can use getopts to easily make options for bash scripts
Then just set a variable $warningcolor or whatever.
Just an idea...

Personally I think the WARNING should *not* be easy on the eyes.  It
SHOULD be jarring and make the user think about it... do I really want
to dd this specific drive? The default should be red.  It is universally
understood as stop/warning/danger.

But, to support your user base, adding a simple option for colour... or
maybe adding a config file would be great!  I like supporting everything
a user could want to do (if I can).
