Will likely have to add the console colors utility as a primitive, but it's trivial code with zero maintenance overhead and a tiny footprint (it's literally just inserting ANSI color codes into the string). Since dump is implemented by inspect.lua as a builtin, it can't easily be moved to the evo environment. Also, it would be useful to have colorized output in the runtime itself, so that's a win/win.
