The solution I ended up using was to implement our own PSHost to handle PowerShell's output. The initial information for this came from http://community.bartdesmet.net/blogs/bart/archive/2008/07/06/windows-powershell-through-ironruby-writing-a-custom-pshost.aspx in the "Building a custom PS host" section.

In my case it did require using a custom PSHostRawUserInterface as well.

Here's the quick overview of what was done. I've only listed the function I actually implimented, but there's many that are just contain throw new NotImplementedException();

private class myPSHost : PSHost
{
   (Same as what the above link mentions)
}
private class myPSHostUI : PSHostUserInterface
{
   private myPSHostRawUI rawui = new myPSHostRawUI();

   public override void Write // all variations
   public override PSHostRawUserInterface RawUI { get { return rawui; } }

}
private class myPSHostRawUI : PSHostRawUserInterface
{
   public override ConsoleColor ForegroundColor
   public override ConsoleColor BackgroundColor
   public override Size BufferSize
}
