Description
It would be nice to have colorized output for the Make scripts, right now with big invocations it gets kinda hard to see what's going on.
For a start, each project being built could have a different color:
==== Building Foo (release_x64) ====

Research direction
Start by locating the Make-script generation and build-output entry points in the repository; the issue names no specific file or test. Determine where per-project build headers are emitted, then verify that large invocations show distinct colors while retaining the requested ==== Building Foo (release_x64) ==== information.
