I notice that when I run tests with our launch configuration it is very colorful, but when I run with this plugin everything is one color


    {
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "Jest Current File",
      "program": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/.bin/jest",
      "args": [
        "${fileBasenameNoExtension}",
        "--config",
        "jest.config.js",
        "--forceExit"
      ],```

@xenoterracide I'm using Output Colorizer and it gives me a colored jest output.

So it would be great if vscode-jest not only retained Jest's built-in console colors, but also I'd really like it if it could also retain my own colored console logs. Sometimes I like to use chalk to make various console output stand out, to help me identify patterns, etc.

Well, the coloring of Output Colorizer is totally random, the color selection is weird, it's a sheer speculation on the output.

I moved to VSCode quite recently and I wonder how comes that supporting basic terminal color turns to be a big problem which hasn't been resolved for 7 freaking years :)
