colordiff will send most options through to diff, but there are various colordiff-specific options which can be used:

Force (or suppress) display of colours in output

Force colour to only appear in terminal output
--difftype=DIFFTYPE
Force difftype detection to specified format. DIFFTYPE can be: diff, diffc, diffu, diffy, debdiff, wdiff
