AFAICS, -R just lets the escape sequences come through unaltered. It
would be much nicer if it would convert them into the color commands
for the underlying terminal, according to its termcap/terminfo entry.
(Btw, doesn't -R get in the way with man pages that contain non-ASCII
characters, notably some CJK encodings which use escapes to switch
between character sets?)
