1;34mINFO[m] formatting on console output

[Friedman, Jacob]

Howdy,

Previously, maven output for my project yielded some slight colorization to 
easily see test run results, errors etc. The other day it started producing 
some funky formatting that looked similar to:

1;34mINFO[m] on many lines.

I did some research and I see there was a recent maven release that actually 
added some more colorization. I learned via a google search i can use 'mvn test 
-B' to remove the aforementioned formatting, but the output is black and white. 
How do I configure it so that it runs in color per the samples videos I've seen 
online about the new release.

Here's my POM file text in case that helps troubleshoot:
