Seems to interfere with logLevel of the root logger itself

Thanks for coloredlogs.

There is issue that, even if coloredlogs is installed on a custom (app) logger (via install(level=logging.DEBUG, logger=my_app_logger), it seems to interfere with log level of the root logger itself (reduced to DEBUG too); This in turn causes output from all other libraries and dependencies to show up in your logs!

I checked and confirmed this. Before calling install, I set log level on the root logger to ERROR or 40, but after install root logger's log level is decreased to DEBUG or 10 (the level which I use for my own app's log output); Then, logs from all other libraries (which before using install had been "silenced") start to pollute the landscape (stdout)!

A temporary fix seems to be setting the log level on the root logger again after intalling coloredlogs
