UNIX colored find output

I know how to color the output of grep, ls (in 256 colors!), prompt and tail. But what would really enhance productivity of a heavy find user like me would be colored find output.

Does such a thing exist? Some web searching yields no promising results for me. It doesn't help that 'find' is such a generic word :-)

As far as I know find doesn't have this built in. For situations like these I like to use grc (check out https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/en/man1/grc.1.html). Hope that's helpful!
