I was looking for inspiration in how 'ls' does this on Linux as it can make
specific files or extensions use specific colors and styles:

A possible syntax in similar vein could be to use a CURL_COLORS environment
variable (and command line option) and allow it to set a colon-separated list
of headers and what style/colors to use:

   server=1;35:content-length=4;32:*=1

Makes "server" headers bold purple, "content-length" headers underlined green
and the rest plain bold.

But I'm not entirely convinced people actually want or would use such a
flexible approach...
