Unfortunately, similar request have been refused, e.g. see #571 or #186963.

I please VS Code devs, consider some switch in the settings like "Debug console interprets escape characters"

[xmedeko]

Workaround From https://stackoverflow.com/a/44186259/254109 is to add to the launch configuration:

            "internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen",
            "console": "integratedTerminal"

(The colored output goes to the terminal, but it still goes uncolored to the Debug Console, too, VS Code 1.94).
