+The `FORCE_COLOR` environment variable is used to
+enable ANSI colorized output. The value may be:
+
+* `1` or `true` to indicate 16-color support,
+* `2` to indicate 256-color support, or
+* `3` to indicate 16 million-color support.

+When `FORCE_COLOR` is used and set to a supported value, both the `NO_COLOR`,
+and `NODE_DISABLE_COLORS` environment variables are ignored.
