I would like to disable the color escape codes logged from sbt/play. Is this possible? And if it is, is there a way to do it without making changes to the config - i.e. via a command line switch or system property.

Since version 0.13.8 (and possibly earlier) you can now simply use the -no-colors option to sbt. e.g.

sbt -no-colors test
