I tried it, on all four machines. No joy. I rebooted them, and did another upgrade. Still no joy. I even tried "eval dnf" on one (Wow!), but that didn't help, either. :-{
I just tried it and it worked fine, no colors. You can also set it in your dnf.conf file. See "man dnf.conf" for details. You can adjust the colors there as well if that's your concern.
Well, I read "[MAIN] OPTIONS - COLORS" there (which I assume you mean); but I don't see how to get back to what I use, which is admittedly a little complicated. Please bear with me.
So are you trying to stop dnf from using colors or are you wanting to set your own? [...] If you want to change the colors it uses, then look in the man page for the options. e.g. "color_list_available_install"
Definitely the latter: change. I use those ten colors constantly. But I get :

Please use /usr/bin/dnf -- help It could be a DNF plugin command, try: "dnf install 'dnf- command(color_list_available_install)'"
I've chewed and chewed on the above and several variant interpretations of it -- and I'm lost.
Maybe I should say that my expressions like "soft blue" are my descriptions of what I actually do from Mate-terminal --> Edit --> Profiles then click on Default, then Edit, then Colors, then Custom, then one of the colors. Say I start with Text color. Then I click on a colored box, then on +. That gives me a window with a slider, which I can drag vertically to get, say in two dimensions till it looks purple. Then I get a purple window with two white lines; I drag the intersection in two dimensions till the little window in that box looks the way I want. Then I click Select, and the text on my open tab turns the color I had moved the cursor to.
I repeat the above for background, then, over and over, for each of the other six profiles.
Am I making sense yet?
