When running Windows PowerShell, I get colorized log output:

I also tried the basic Windows terminal and got colorized log output.

@Deecellar, in what case is color not working for you? Perhaps a different terminal? I do have a solution that uses standard Windows colors rather than the ANSI colors currently used, but I can't submit a PR until I can reproduce the issue and prove the fix works.

For reference, there is code in the Zig standard library that may help with all the colorization issues. In the Zig repo, see lib/std/fs/File.zig and search for the term "ANSI". But even without ANSI support, we can still make it work the Windows way.

There are instructions here for enabling ANSI colors on Windows by default. Just set the registry key mentioned and Jetzig colors should work without any code updates. https://superuser.com/questions/413073/windows-console-with-ansi-colors-handling
