This is a case of #30 — many tools are not capable of accepting ANSI codes.

Besides, may I ask why do you even use more this millenium? It has been obsoleted by less mere 35 years ago. But even less doesn't default to accepting ANSI, you need to specify less -R.

The core issue is real; almost all other programs won't write color when redirected. It's debatable only because hexyl's value is the coloring — without it, you're probably better off using hd instead, as the latter can do anything that hexyl can, plus more. But then, most of hd's features are pointless these days.
