Problem / Steps to reproduce

I have this:

kubecolor get pods -A | fzf --ansi

expect color output of kubecolor preserved but in fact, the color is lost.

Usually, there is an extra option to retain the escape sequences when piped into another command.

See: kubecolor/kubecolor - Dynamic tty support

KUBECOLOR_FORCE_COLORS=true kubecolor ... | fzf ...
# or
kubecolor --force-colors ... | fzf ...

# Enables colors automatically when outputting to the terminal; otherwise, it disables them.
command grep --color=auto '^foo' /usr/share/dict/words
command grep --color=auto '^foo' /usr/share/dict/words | fzf

# vs

# Always enables colorized output.
command grep --color=always '^foo' /usr/share/dict/words | fzf
