Description
When using watch --color khal calendar the formatting (bold text and colors) doesn't seem to work.
I don't know exactly if this is an issue with khal or if it is one with watch. But watch does work for me with other programs (for example todotxt doesn't lose its color or boldness), so I am guessing khal is doing something differently here.
Using khal without watch (even with sh) works as expected. Does someone have an idea what the problem could be?

Research direction
Start by reproducing watch --color khal calendar and compare it with khal run directly or through sh, as described in the issue. Trace the CLI output and color-handling entry points to determine where formatting is lost; done means bold text and colors remain visible under watch without breaking the direct command.
