How to add author name to a custom git alias?

I have configured custom git alias that I use very frequently to see the complete graph and commit summary.
[alias]
graph = log --oneline --all --decorate --graph
One thing I would like to add to this alias is the author name. I am trying to add it using the following format option configuration
git log --oneline --all --decorate --graph --format=format:"%h%x09%d%x09%an%x09%s"
This command seems to work but I do not get the nice color coding for commit hash and branch names. Can anyone please guide me as to how can I retain the color highlight for branch names and commit hashes?

Just add the color code %C(auto) in front of your format string :
git log --all --decorate --graph --format=format:"%C(auto)%h%x09%d%x09%an%x09%s"
However, the author name is not colored by default, so you'll need a specific color code in front of it, like
git log --all --decorate --graph --format=format:"%C(auto)%h%x09%d%x09%C(blue)%an%C(reset)%x09%s"
