What about adding this as a note under 'Notes' in the manual page of 
r.colors. This is not strictly an output of r.colors, but people might 
look there first when noticing that the colours of their map differs 
from what they expect. Perhaps something like: "The default colour table 
is the viridis colour table. Note that this was changed in GRASS GIS 
version 7.2. In earlier versions the default colour table was 'rainbow'."
