No ANSI colors for Powershell or CMD inside iex

Hi, I have been experiencing some problems using on Windows regarding iex output coloring.
Since I’ve been using CMDER as my main console for some time, I only noticed this problem today trying to use iex through Visual Studio Code’s integrated terminal.
After searching a lot about this, I was unable to find the right cause or solutions to this problem, so I don’t know if this is a problem on the REPL by itself or at the OS level, so I was hoping someone could help me with that.

This is what I’m getting using this config on my .iex.exs:

Application.put_env(:elixir, :ansi_enabled, true)

IEx.configure(
	colors: [
		enabled: true, 
		eval_result: [:cyan, :bright], 
		eval_info: [:blue, :bright],
		eval_error: [:magenta, :bright],
		doc_title: [:reverse, :yellow, :bright],
		doc_headings: [:yellow, :bright],
		doc_inline_code: [:magenta, :bright],
		ls_directory: [:green, :bright],
		stack_app: [:green, :bright],
		stack_info: [:red, :bright]
		]
)

Powershell, CMD and CMDER (Powershell)

Windows command line and Powershell simply are not capable of ANSI. They do understand another set of commands though, which is not implemented in elixir so far.
