Potential solution

Ora deals with this scenario by allowing you to set enabled to False and it will disable the spinner, emojis and colors. However, it will still print the raw text normally. Whereas with Halo, setting enabled to False completely disables everything, even printing the raw text normally. So, I propose setting enabled to False would still log text normally.

I thought setting color to None would fix this behavior, but it doesn't. If anyone has a workaround (even a hacky one), I'd love to hear it.

@omartoutounji thanks for reporting! Looking into this.
