I don't exactly what you want, but if you want a better look of git blame, git show, git diff and so on I suggest delta. Delta formats the output of those git commands so you can see their output in prettier way. You can also use it as a human-readable diff replacement. More info: https://dandavison.github.io/delta/
However, even though git blame (and its graphical interfaces) is a quick and easy tool, it has some problems, and Git has better tools for code archaeology. Check this for more info: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39877637
Also, if you are an Emacs user, its VC package is very powerful. For example, `C-x v g` to bring up the "blame" (vc-annotate) view, in which you can (for any commit) press `a` to see what the file looked like before that commit, `d` to see the diff of the commit, `l` to see the commit message... That's just the tip of the iceberg of things you can do with it. It supports Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, CVS, Subversion and more as a backend.
