Since version 3.4 (launched around August of 2016), diff supports the –color flag print colorised output in the terminal.
Sadly, Debian 8 doesn’t have it yet, but hey there is colordiff too :)

Eh? Debian 8 is oldstable. It will never have it?
Debian 9 has it! And I too was relying on colordiff, and I knew the patch for –color was sitting in the diff repo for a while. It’s nice that it finally landed! GNU moves slowly.
