To Reproduce

1. Scaffold a basic example using npx create-turbo@latest
2. In the options, choose npm as package manager
3. Open in a code editor and remove "ui": "tui", from turbo.json
4. Run using turbo dev

Notice that that colors are not visible.

This is a known issue with the streamed logs rendering that won't be fixed, and one of many reasons that we created the TUI. You might want to see if using FORCE_COLOR or --color resolves this in the streamed UI mode, or use the TUI instead.

FORCE_COLOR or --color doesnt work unfortunately :/

Looks like TUI is the way then
