More information is needed to help you. What terminal do you use, what's the value of $TERM?

Do other commands (ls --color=auto) show colors? Do you see colors with echo -e 'this is \e[01;33;41mRED\e[0m'?

The interface to show colors in the terminal is very simple; it's very unlikely that there's a bug in todo.sh; rather, this is a misconfiguration of some kind.

1.- I am using Gnome Terminal 2.- TERM = xterm-256color 3.- Yes. The command echo -e 'this is \e[01;33;41mRED\e[0m' shows color. 4.- I am using Powerline (not sure if this helps)

So your terminal is capable of showing colors; this means that it's a misconfiguration of todo.sh. Please check that -p (plain) isn't passed, and that the TODOTXT_PLAIN environment variable is either unset or not 1. It's less likely that a filter removes the color sequences from the output; -x would disable that.

It's likely that the answer is in your todo.cfg configuration file; you could try to temporarily rename it; the colors should then reappear.

Closing since it seems to be answered and stale.
