How do i get my console to display test results in color(red/green)

Im building a ruby on rails aplication, and trying to get my TDD on. I have the following gems installed under my testing environment.

turn <0.8.3
rspec-rails
capybara
guard-rspec
minitest
win32console

Everything seems to be playing nicely together, however, When my test run they aren't in color. Just plain white text. Am I missing something? do I need to initialize something?

I am running on windows 7

Thanks in advance, you guys rock!

Just specify it in the guard block:

guard :rspec, :cli => '--color --format doc' do

As of RSpec Guard 4.0, you need to pass options to cmd,

guard :rspec, cmd: 'rspec --color --format doc' do

I run on OSX, but here is how I do it. Put a file named .rspec in the root directory of the project with the following contents:

--colour

Try that.
