git will color it's output. Staged changes are green and deleted files are red for example.
I have a script running several git commands in parallel and I use sponge to get a nicer output.
But using sponge removes the colors, is there a way to change that?

Yes, you can force git to output colour codes. For many git subcommands, you can add the --color option:
git log --color | sponge
For others, you’ll need to configure the colour output using configuration directives; either per command:
git -c color.status=always status | sponge
or for good in one of the configuration files:
git config --global color.status always
git status | sponge
(By default, git disables colour output when its output is sent somewhere other than a terminal. If you want to set the color directive for --color compatible subcommands, you need to use the color.ui key: git config --global color.ui always.)

I’ve updated my answer; I didn’t realise you were looking forstatus(although the green and red references should have given me the hint).

Now that I knew what to look for, I found the answer on Stack Overflow:
git -c color.ui=always -c color.status=always status | sponge
