git - How do I enable msysgit colored output when using console2

Question

I'm having a hard time enabling git colored output on windows when using console2.

To trick git I've already SET TERM = 'cygwin'. This enabled the colors from a standard cmd.exe prompt but not in console2. I've verified that console2 can see the env var as well.

Anyone know how to get this working?

Ok, wow. The solution is to disable custom font color in console2. If enabled, it overrides the expected colors.

I use a custom color to give me opaque text when using c2's alpha transparency. I completely forgot about it.
