I'm not following this request either, especially the colored part.
However, I can imagine adding a variable that gives the user full control over the action-invocation. In:
argparse.HelpFormatter._format_action_invocation method.
Currently it accepts the metavar (but not the tuple version) for a positional, but for optionals constructs:
-s ARGS, --long ARGS
This can be quite long and ugly if the ARGS is a long choices, or there are many flag alternatives. A number of SO users have asked for something simpler, usually with just on flag or
-s, --long ARGS
There may even be a bug/issue(s) related to this already.
