Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently radare2 prints both pf and built-in pf output in r2 -nn mode without any colors, even if they are enabled. It would be amazing to improve the readability to colorize them according to the current color options and colorscheme.

Research direction
Study how color is applied in other radare2 commands (e.g., `pd`, `pdr`). Look for existing color utility functions in the source. The `pf` command in `r2 nn` mode needs to use the current colorscheme to colorize its output. Identify where `pf` prints output and modify it to use color formatting.
