You could just redefine the method in question, like this:

def color_off()
  def my_print(a)
    puts a
  end
end

def color_on()
  def my_print(a)
    puts colorize(a)
  end
end

def something()
  my_print "hello"
end

color_off()
something() #no color
color_on()
something() #color


HTH,
Sebastian
