+Feature: Windows may require additional solutions to display color
+
+  The output uses [ANSI escape codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code) to show text in color.  Windows
+  systems (shells) often don't interpret those codes at all.
+
+  If you're on Windows and you see ANSI escape codes in the output
+  (something like `[1m [31m` ) and your text isn't in different colors,
+  you may need to install a utility so that your Windows shell will
+  interpret those codes correctly and show the colors.  Here are some
+  popular solutions:
+
+    * [ANSICON](https://github.com/adoxa/ansicon): ANSICON runs 'on top of' cmd or powershell. This is a very
+      popular solution. You can set it up so that it's always used whenever
+      you use cmd or powershell, or use it only at specific times.
+
+    * Alternatives to cmd.exe or powershell: [ConEmu](http://conemu.github.io/), [Console2](http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/),
+      [ConsoleZ](https://github.com/cbucher/console)
+
+    * Unix-like shells and utilities:  [cygwin](https://www.cygwin.com/), [babun](http://babun.github.io/index.html),
+      [MinGW](http://www.mingw.org/) (Minimalist GNU for Windows)
+
+  To find out more, search for information about those solutions.
