Question: Is there a way to display colors (like in a terminal) in the Debug Console of Visual Studio Code (Version 1.10.2) when debugging node.js code?

Answer: 
I guess so far the best way is to put your debug output into alternate destinations:

In Launch Configuration Attributes the `console` setting can be set to one of the following: `internalConsole` (default, the builtin Debug Console) `externalTerminal` (external cmd window) or `integratedTerminal` (the VS Code terminal).

The external terminal command line can further be specified in the VS Code Settings under one of the following: `terminal.external.windowsExec`, `terminal.external.osxExec`, and `terminal.external.linuxExec` from the default that is your default os terminal.

Source: VS Code docs, for example for node.js: <https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/nodejs/nodejs-debugging#_launch-configuration-attributes>
My Setup, coloured steps:

I think the main attribute to the colour here is `--format=node_modules/cucumber-pretty`

    }

```
