That can be used to invoke one of the following

https://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite/ 
https://gitlab.com/saalen/highlight   (this seems more up-to-date)
(apparently maybe this https://github.com/jingweno/ccat )

and so the suggested “ccat” would be … existing lesspipe(1)!

In order to replace cat command with ccat command system wide, add a bash alias for ccat in system *barshrc* file,
I think you mean *bashrc*
