The ANSI escape sequences for colors does not work on windows cmd.

In Cargo we use the termcolor crate for handling colors in a cross platform way.

On second thought this may be a problem that fern needs to fix.

After more experimenting, when properly installed, Cargo pipes are output thru termcolor thereby cleaning up the codes for us.
