GoCD - How to display PowerShell output in color?

Question

As the name says, how do we display console output from PowerShell scripts in color? We are using v16.12 GoCD.

Edit: due to company policy, we are not allowed to use write-host. Please do not ask why :)

Answer 1

The answer is completely unrelated to GoCD. What about

[System.Console]::BackgroundColor="blue"
[System.Console]::ForegroundColor="yellow"
[System.Console]::WriteLine("yellow on blue");

Answer 2

If you need an easier way to handle these colors, you can install and use the TMOutput module, the module I wrote. It uses System.Console; however, it does this with less coding on your part.

Answer 3

Write-Host, , .

$Host.UI.Write('Cyan','DarkMagenta','Text to display')

:

void Write(string value)
void Write(System.ConsoleColor foregroundColor, System.ConsoleColor backgroundColor, string value)
