Is there any application like cat, but with color output?

I'd like to view my files with colors like in any IDE's editor.

Vim is always a good option. Plus then you can make quick edits as needed.

I like the [`vimpager`](https://github.com/rkitover/vimpager) project for this. – Hank Gay May 30 '12 at 15:10
