Possible to get proper colors in compiler errors?

When using elm make on it's own, you get color highlighting which really helps you spot the differences in big type signatures. But with Webpack it's all white. I tried setting stats: {colors: true} in the Webpack dev server config, but all that did was change the errors to all red.

I did some investigation and it seems like it's node-elm-compiler that would have to change for this to work.
The problem is that when it runs the compiler with stdio : "pipe" then the colors are lost.

I actually got color output working by hacking node-elm-compiler so that if there's an error, then it reruns the compiler with stdio : "inherit" 😄

Seems to be a problem with node-elm-compiler rtfeldman/node-elm-compiler#91.
