In the end, I did this based on the code posted by Scrutinizer,
error_record=$(awk '{getline s<f} $0!=s{print; exit}' f=file2 file1)
It seems like it will work well enough and was the fastest of the methods that worked.
This suggestion of RudiC also worked but was marginally slower.
error_record=$(diff -y -b --suppress-common-lines file1 file2 | cut -f1 | head -1)
By slower I mean 0m0.391s as opposed to 0m0.156s with the first method. Not enough difference to bother with but I guess you need some reason to pick a method.
The method suggested by rdrtx1 also worked but again was a bit slower,
error_record=$(paste -d" " file1 file2 | awk '$1 != $2 {print $1; exit;}')
My guess is that the two slower methods both made calls to more than one program and this is the origin of the difference.
I was not able to get any output from this, even though it looks correct,
awk ' NR==FNR { a[NR]=$0; next } $0 != a[FNR] { print a[FNR]; exit }' file1 file2
Don't know what the issue is there.

set_color
set_color(1) fish set_color(1)
NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color
set_color - set the terminal color
Synopsis
set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]
Description
Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
cyan, white and normal.
o -b, --background Set the background color
o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names
o -h, --help Display help message and exit
o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode
o -u, --underline Set underlined mode
o -v, --version Display version and exit
Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.
Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.
Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.
set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
