Custom font color for Powershell output

Let's take the powershell command Write-Host "red text" -Fore red this displays "red text" in a foreground of red.
But, you want the text to be displayed in a slightly lighter font color, light red.

Is there a way to do this and get any foreground color (and background) in the RGB spectrum using powershell?
