How to colorize errors in tsc-output?

Question

When developing a typescript project, I run the compiler in view mode:

tsc --watch

However, when an error occurs, it is difficult for me to recognize the output, since I have simple formatted text:

Often I don’t even read it, as there are several exits from previous runs.

I am currently trying to alleviate my pain by using grepping for errors to mark this line in red:

tsc -w | egrep --color '.*error.*|$'

feels hacked for now. Is there an easier way to get errors printed beautifully in typescript?

, false, .tsconfig:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "pretty": true
    }
}
