Research direction

Start by reproducing any color-producing imgpkg command, such as `imgpkg`, in the built-in Windows command prompt on Windows 10. Trace the CLI's color-output behavior and verify that the terminal renders colored text instead of displaying escape sequences such as `[31m` and `[0m`.
