In case you are wondering how to get your ANSI colored strings into windows terminal, the following snippet might help you (from C):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#ifndef ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING
# define ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING 0x0004
#endif
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  HANDLE hOut = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
  DWORD dwMode = 0;
  GetConsoleMode(hOut, &dwMode);
  dwMode |= ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING;
  SetConsoleMode(hOut, dwMode);
  printf("\x1b[101;93m Testing\x1b[0m\n");
  return 0;
}
