Unfortunately "subtle" isn't really an option when working with standard terminal colors. There are only eight colors, and on most terminals it would be fair to describe all of them as "garish".

A gutter symbol would be an option, though.




That's a fair point. I did not consider the limited range of colours on most terminals.

Bold text might also be an option, though it wouldn't immediately distinguish between added and removed characters.
