This sounds like your platform does not match the actual jline.terminal property. I am just guessing here but when I pass the parameter as Daniel suggested on a Windows command line I see the color escape codes as well.

Therefore, you have to make sure the property matches your platform, i.e. WindowsTerminal on Windows and UnixTerminal on Unix.

If this does not help, then you might be on an unsupported platform in which case the website suggests to use:

-Djline.terminal=jline.UnsupportedTerminal
