Bash and the term don't really know what text came from stdout and what
came from stderr.   Without capturing both output streams and wrapping 'em
in ANSI (or re-writing the app to output ANSI directly) I don't think it's
possible.

Note that ls natively supports colorizing stuff so it can directly output
the necessary ANSI sequences.
