I believe that to enable colour on a Windows console, you need to use an
API function, which can get a bit clumsy because there isn't an
equivalent to \e[0m to reset to default, so you have to retrieve the
current console colour beforehand. Windows 10 /might/ accept the ANSI
escape sequences, but I'm not sure.

Is there a switch to disable it ?
The lazarus parser doesn't need color, it supplies it's own in the
messages dialog.
I looked in the help but could not see one, maybe it was forgotten.
It's only enabled if the output is to a TTY and not a pipe (analogous
on Windows).
