Here's a variant of this for output in a terminal:

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail

# Diff two files with syntax highlighting using pygmentize.

# pygmentize-term should be a pygmentize wrapper with your preferred
# pygmentize settings (formatter / style / filters)

function prepare() {
	local fn=$1

	# Work around https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/pygments-main/issues/1437
	if [[ "$fn" == /dev/null ]]
	then
		return
	fi

	local lexer
	lexer=$(pygmentize -N "$fn")
	#printf "Detected lexer of %q as %q\n" "$fn" "$lexer" 1>&2

	if [[ "$lexer" == text ]]
	then
		expand "$fn" | pygmentize-term -g
	else
		expand "$fn" | pygmentize-term -l "$lexer"
	fi
}

# Use colordiff (instead of diff --color=always) solely because it
# produces consistent formatting on a per-line basis, saving us from
# having to keep track of state across lines
diff=(colordiff --color=yes)

for arg in "$@"
do
	if [[ $arg == -* ]]
	then
		diff+=("$arg")
	else
		exec {fd}< <(prepare "$arg")
		diff+=(/dev/fd/$fd)
	fi
done

sed=(
	sed
	# replace "all attributes off" (used by Pygmentize to turn off
	# bold) with "normal intensity"
	-e 's/\x1b\[00m/\x1b[22m/g'

	# Replace colordiff's foreground colors with some dark background
	# colors. You can customize them here.
	-e 's/^\x1b\[0;36m/\x1b[0;36;48;5;23m/' # cyan
	-e 's/^\x1b\[0;31m/\x1b[0;31;48;5;52m/' # red
	-e 's/^\x1b\[0;32m/\x1b[0;32;48;5;22m/' # green

	# Extend background color across the entire terminal window width
	-e 's/\x1b\[0;0m$/\x1b\[K\x1b[0m/'
)
