Yeah, totally got that. But how else you can generate colorized easy-to-read output, where yellow warnings stand out?

There should be something like Write-Host that outputs colors to console stdout handle and silently drops color properties when writing to (anonymous) pipe stdout handle.

Color escape codes could be even better.
